Loading Float64 results in a column of varchar

[JockLawrie]

Hi there,

I'm loading a DataFrame into SQL Server using ODBC.load.
The data to be loaded has a column of Float64.
Once loaded, the corresponding column in SQL Server has type varchar.
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a workaround?

Cheers,
Jock

A little more detail:
The Azure VM I'm working on is 64-bit and runs 64-bit SQL Server with a 64-bit DSN.
Loading a column of Float32 results in a column with type (real,null).
Loading a column of Float64 results in a column with type (varchar(8000),null).
