[erlang-questions] odbc unsigned values

[Ingela Anderton Andin]

Hi!

What erlang odbc will return depends on which SQL-DATATYPE that the 
driver you use claims it to be.
You can use odbc:describe_table/[2,3] to find out what type will be 
returned. When we know that maybe
we can derive if the erlang-odbc port program needs an update or not.
