WARNING: This version is experimental and adds the ability to have DBD::ODBC use
SQLDescribeParam to obtain the parameter type of the binding. Please use the
odbc_default_bind_type private attribue to activate this behavior.
Experimental release of DBD::ODBC has just been sent to CPAN.
Currently the default value of odbc_default_bind_type = SQL_VARCHAR (current behavior)
If you set odbc_default_bind_type to 0, then SQLDescribeParam will be called to
determine the columen type. Not ALL databases handle this correctly. For example,
Oracle returns SQL_VARCHAR for all types and attempts to convert to the correct type
for us. However, if you use the ODBC escaped date/time format such as: {ts
'1998-05-13 00:01:00'} then Oracle complains. If you bind this with a SQL_TIMESTAMP
type, however, Oracle's ODBC driver will parse the time/date correctly. Use at your
own risk!
