Finding out more about data types on Windows
If you need more information about a data types, for example, the precision and scale, use Microsoft’s ODBC Test to do this.
-
Download the version of ODBC Test that matches your application’s architecture from:
-
Copy both files to a folder on the machine where Easysoft ODBC-Salesforce Driver is installed.
-
Double-click odbcte32.exe.
-
Select Con > Full Connect.
-
Choose your Easysoft ODBC-Salesforce Driver data source from the list.
-
Choose Catalog > SQLGetTypeInfo.
-
Either choose SQL_ALL_TYPES=0 (1.0) or a specific data type from the DataType list.
-
Choose Results > Get Data All.
