I have an application written in MS VC++ that uses ODBC to access various database platforms. When I use Oracle8, I am having trouble retrieving DATE columns. My bind column tells it that the target field should be in SQL_C_TIMESTAMP format, which is defined as a TIMESTAMP_STRUCT in my program. What I get returned, however, is "garbage". That is a standard ODBC3.0 data conversion (as works with MS SQL Server and IBM UDB5.2). is there something special to do with Oracle?

Thanks.
