Description:

In "Table 35-1. Equivalent C Types for Built-in SQL Types", when SQL type is
"timestamp", the C type is reported to be "Timestamp * ", whereas it is
actually "Timestamp". I experienced it in version 9.3 but I guess it is also
the case in current version.
Best regards

Ah, yes, you are right --- Timestamp is an int64.  I will fix that with
the attatched patch.
