Not so big... I applied in 0.64 which is not stable so I just added
dbtablecolinfo. Used only by datacopy and not documented, I hope we
decide an ABI before 0.64... Any suggestion? There are many choices
- use dbtablecolinfo
- add a type to dbcolinfo
- add a new DBCOLTDS structure and pass as DBCOL* (using SizeOfStruct to
distinguish from DBCOL and DBCOLTDS)
- other ??
It would also fine to be able to distingue nvarchar from varchar.
