>Description: I created a table with all fields to see what the column type name is. The year field shows correct ColumnTypeName of YEAR in nightly build of 2003-03-11 However I noticed that: - fieldtype VARCHAR results in ColumnTypeName VARCHAR - fieldtype CHAR results in ColumnTypeName VARCHAR - fieldtype ENUM results in ColumnTypeName CHAR - fieldtype SET results in ColumnTypeName CHAR

Something similar exists for BOB fields: - fieldtype TINYBLOB results in ColumnTypeName BLOB - fieldtype MEDIUMBLOB results in ColumnTypeName BLOB - fieldtype LONGBLOB results in ColumnTypeName BLOB - fieldtype BLOB results in ColumnTypeName BLOB

This could be by design or a bug.
