Pete,

I changed the way I'm allocating the string in the function getColumnName:

std::string getColumnName(HSTMT statement, int column) {
   SQLCHAR* sqlPtr = 0;
   char strAux[1];
   SQLSMALLINT length = 0;
   SQLColAttributeA(statement, column, SQL_DESC_BASE_COLUMN_NAME, &strAux,
1, (SQLSMALLINT*) &length, NULL);
   length++;
   sqlPtr = (SQLCHAR*) new char(length);
   SQLColAttributeA(statement, column, SQL_DESC_BASE_COLUMN_NAME, sqlPtr,
length, (SQLSMALLINT*) &length, NULL);

   std::string ret((char*) sqlPtr);
   return ret;

}

And it's now adding the all properties, but when I use a for...

int m;
commonj::sdo::PropertyList list = myType.getProperties();
for (m = 0 ; m < list.size() ; m++) {
   std::cout << list[m].getName() << "\n";
}

...to read the properties' names to check if everything was correctly added,
I always get four random characters now instead of for '=' character.
Something changed, but it's still not working as expected : (

OK, I found it: new char[<length>], right?! ; )
