in that case, that's a known bug in the MySQL provider, which does not
support very well some types. Don't you prefer to use PostgreSQL, which
works far better in gnome-db/gASQL? :-)

Unfortunately, the stable version (GNOME 1.x) of libgda is not going to
be fixed, unless you can provide a patch :-( This is due to the fact
that we are concentrating on the GNOME 2 version, and that we've got no
time to hack in both branches
