Description:
------------
When using getColumnMeta() on pdo_dblib, on a column of type 
'datetimeoffset(0)', the returned structure looks like this:

array(10) {
  ["max_length"] => int(104)
  ["precision"] => int(0)
  ["scale"] => int(0)
  ["column_source"] => string(7) "updated"
  ["native_type"] => string(4) "char"
  ["native_type_id"] => int(47)
  ["native_usertype_id"] => int(0)
  ["name"] => string(7) "updated"
  ["len"] => int(104)
  ["pdo_type"] => int(2)
}

Note that it believes that the native_type is char, when it should be 
'datetimeoffset'.

Expected result:
----------------
I expect to see 'datetimeoffset' as the native_type.

Actual result:
--------------
You get 'char' - which is incorrect.

Actually, unfortunately on a real char field, it also returns "char" and also type 
47 :(  So I'm not sure how to distinguish these.

I'm guessing you saw this because of the TDS version you used. This column type was introduced in SQL Server 2008, so you have use TDS >=7.3. You can choose the TDS version with a "version" param in the DSN.
