Chris, I included a fragment from odbc.ijs for your reference. As you can see date and time (91 92?) are not supported. Furthermore blob data type (eg. _1 and _4) will never be supported in ddfch, as it is impossible to allocate (2G or more)*rowsize of memory buffer for each blob column.
NB. 3) All the supported datatypes can be fetched with (ddfet) only NB. fixed length and short datatypes (*'ed) can be returned by (ddfch). NB. This table is critical to the operation of this system.
