Um, have you made any attempt to track down which of these possible causes is 
at fault? So far I don't even see a report of which database is involved, and 
most of us use Schema::Loader as a quickstart only; relying on such a system 
in production is generally considered dangerous.

Does columns_info_for report this correctly? Does your DBD report it 
correctly? Do earlier versions of Schema::Loader do the right thing?

C'mon dude, you're the only one who's reported this so far. Give us a hand :)
