ODBC.jl WeakRefString{Int32} error

Hi,

I have two tables in a mysql database whose schema are basically identical (see schema at the end). When I attempt to query the first one using ODBC.jl, there is no problem, and data is returned as expected. However, when I try a similar query on the second, it throws an error:

The query with the error:

Query: SELECT * FROM `AUROPHARM` WHERE CTYPE="FUT" AND DATE(DTTM)="2016-07-01" AND RES="30 secs" AND QTYPE="BID" AND EXPIRY="2016-07-28" ORDER BY DTTM ASC
In fetch: types = DataType[WeakRefString{Int32},WeakRefString{Int32},Float32,ODBC.API.SQLDate,ODBC.API.SQLTimestamp,WeakRefString{Int32},WeakRefString{Int32},Float32,Float32,Float32,Float32,Float32,Int32,Int32,Float32]

The query without the error:

Got (750,9) elements for TATAMOTOR:2016-01-04:FUT:NA:0.0:20160128:BID

Both queries return valid data when queried using the mysql client.

Digging into Source.jl in the ODBC source, it appears that the type returned for a char string is WeakRefString{Int32} instead of WeakRefString{UInt8}. The bytes2codeunits has no method with a WeakRefString{Int32} type which causes the error. I’m unable to fathom why the type returned is WeakRefString{Int32} for one case and WeakRefString{UInt8} for another, given the same schema. Any pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ravi
