odbc_field_type — Liefert den Datentyp eines Feldes
odbc_field_type() liefert den SQL-Datentyp eines Feldes zurück, das in dem Abfrageergebnis result_id an der Stelle field_number zu finden ist.
Quick note: as noted below, MS Access type AutoNumber comes across as type COUNTER. What I didn't see mentioned is that PHP interprets type COUNTER as a string, not an integer.
More annoying than anything else, in my particular case; but I'd guess it could bite somebody, somewhere.
