jTDS incorrectly reports data type info in result set metadata (for DATE columns, reports NVARCHAR)

Question

Currently, the jTDS JDBC driver (1.2.5) against Microsoft SQL Server 2008 appears to incorrectly report the data type for DATE columns as NVARCHAR.

It probably behaves

Answer 1

I found a solution with the condition

metaData.getColumnType(columnNumber) == 12

if this condition is satisfied, execute the query

SELECT System_Type_Id FROM Sys.Columns WHERE Name = [column name] AND Object_Id = (SELECT Object_Id FROM Sys.Tables WHERE Name = [table name])

for smalldatetime it will return 58

and for datetime it will return 61.
