           Summary: ODBC: TIME columns are returned with column DataType set
                    to System.DateTime instead of System.TimeSpan
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries

When you make an ODBC query on a table that would return values from a TIME
column, the IDataReader returns the DataType "System.DateTime" instead of
"System.TimeSpan" which is annoying because .ToString() adds returns a date
too.

IOW:

1. Create a table with one column ("column1 TIME")
2. Insert a row into this table with "column1"='11:12:13'
3. Read it using System.Data.Odbc using the IDataReader

IDataReader reader = ...;
Type t = reader.GetFieldType(0);

At this point t==typeof(DateTime) but it should be t==typeof(TimeSpan).

This is a problem because you cannot use the returned value as the input for a
new insert using parameters because you'd get a useless value/string (because
of the additional date).

Mark
