In fact, Interbase doesn't allow to create "pure" INT64 data columns (at
least for now), it always will be NUMERIC(xx,yy). Such fields will be
reported as NUMERIC both in catalog functions and in result sets. The
modification makes sense only in one case: database of dialect3, result set
with aggregate function on some integer field e.g.

select sum(some_integer_field) from some_table

Interbase v6 dialect 3 will always convert result column to "pure" INT64. In
such case the driver reports that column as SQL_DOUBLE.

Aleksey
