thanks i did get that far! ;-)

Okay allow me to ask the question again then; to what purpose is the driver sending this?

Is it the driver sending this stuff? I cannot believe it.

What about the application which has antique code for other databases where the values for "positive/negative infinity" and "not-a-number" are the maximum/minimum integer value, for instance? And the app just wants to know it?!
