+Summary: OdbcDataReader: NUMERIC values are retrieved as System.String
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+The OdbcDataReader does not retrieve NUMERIC values as System.Decimal as 
+expected.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Execute the folowing method: 
+
+static void TestDataTypes(string connectionString)
+{
+	using(IDbConnection dbConnection = new OdbcConnection
+(connectionString))
+	{
+		dbConnection.Open();
+		IDbCommand dbCommand = dbConnection.CreateCommand();
+
+		System.Console.WriteLine("CREATE TABLE");
+		dbCommand.CommandText = "CREATE TABLE NumericTable 
+(NumericField NUMERIC(10) NOT NULL)";
+		dbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
+
+		System.Console.WriteLine("INSERT INTO");
+		dbCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO NumericTable 
+(NumericField) VALUES (125)";
+		dbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
+
+		System.Console.WriteLine("SELECT * FROM");
+		dbCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM NumericTable";
+		
+		using(IDataReader reader = dbCommand.ExecuteReader())
+		{
+			while(reader.Read()) 
+			{
+				for(int index = 0; index < 
+reader.FieldCount; index++)
+				{
+					object dataValue = reader.GetValue
+(index);
+					System.Console.WriteLine
+(dataValue.GetType().ToString() + "\t" + dataValue.ToString());
+				}
+			}
+		}
+
+		System.Console.WriteLine("DROP TABLE");
+		dbCommand.CommandText = "DROP TABLE NumericTable";
+		dbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
+	}
+}
+
+
+Actual Results:
+CREATE TABLE
+INSERT INTO
+SELECT * FROM
+System.String   125
+DROP TABLE
+
+
+Expected Results:
+CREATE TABLE
+INSERT INTO
+SELECT * FROM
+System.Decimal  125
+DROP TABLE
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
