 Hi Sebastien,
 
    The actual results are as expected. TINYINT should be returned as
 Int16.

+Hi Suresh,
+
+As far as I know:
+TINYINT is 1 byte long,
+SMALLINT is 2 bytes long and
+INTEGER is 4 bytes long.
+
+(at least on the version of Sybase that I am using).
+So, my guest is that a TINYINT should be mapped in a System.Byte.
+
+Also, if you run the TestTinyIntDataType method (in the bug 
+description) using Microsoft .NET, the result will be a System.Byte.
+
+Are there specs somewhere for that, or is the Microsoft 
+implementation the reference for the Mono ODBC .NET Provider ?
+
+Regards
+Sébas
+
+PS: I really appreciate your effort and rapidity for fixing the bugs 
+I submit. Thanks.
