TITLE   :BUG: IDBSchemaRowset Reports DBTYPE_NUMERIC for MONEY Datatype
PRODUCT :Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)
PROD/VER::1.1
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbprogramming

======================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft OLE DB, version 1.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUG #: 4643 (OLEDSDK)

SYMPTOMS
========

When an application queries SQL Server for the MONEY datatype using
IDBSchemaRowset::GetRowset DBSCHEMA_COLUMNS, it returns DBTYPE_NUMERIC (131).
This is inconsistent with IColumnsInfo::GetColumnInfo, which returns DBTYPE_CY
(6) for the MONEY datatype.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, use IColumnsInfo::GetColumnInfo for the column
metadata.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in OLEDB SDK version 1.1. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
