This solves #366 for me, but more testing (and unittests) is necessary.
As far as I can understand, the SQL GUID type, isn't really a UInt128, but rather a composite struct. (link
This PR adds a new GUID struct in the ODBC package, and uses that instead of Base.UUID.
As a lot of application code might expect to receive Base.UUID from results, some more thought should probably go into this.
Things to consider
