For example in your case of describe table_name, I create a small table with the following structure: mysql> describe mytest; +-------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | id | int(11) | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | name | char(50) | YES | | NULL | | +-------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) Then I built a DSN file, to test the same command using MyODBC with the tool ODBCTE32.EXE shipped together with the MyODBC setup. Below the result: Get Data All: "Field", "Type", "Null", "Key", "Default", "Extra" "id", "int(11)", "", "PRI", <Null>, "auto_increment" "name", "char(50)", "YES", "", <Null>, "" 2 rows fetched from 6 columns. So I guess that the problem is your application or the machine environment. Notice for example that VB doesn't support BIGINT as column type on auto_increment.
