Hi, I have problems with new data types for MS SQL Server 2008 (R2):
DATE, TIME, DATETIME2

When I use UniQuery I get this:
A = DATE field
B = TIME(0) field
C = DATETIME2(0) field

UniQuery.FieldByName("A").DataType = ftWideString // correct is = ftDate
UniQuery.FieldByName("B").DataType = ftWideString // correct is = ftTime
UniQuery.FieldByName("C").DataType = ftWideString // correct is = ftDateTime

Thanks, Roman
