Pentaho Report Designer : image-field created instead of number-field

Hi,

I'm a new PRD user,what I'm trying to accomplish is simply to visualise a time-stamp as a normal date-time field.

I'm connected to a MySQL server v5.1, and running the below query :

SELECT
date_add('1970-1-1 12:00:00',INTERVAL timestamp SECOND) as stamp_date,
node_ref
var_ref,
value
FROM
net_table

I got the below result
What I remarked is that the 'stamp_date' created is a byte type, and the field within the structure is image type :


I did run the query directly to my MySQL and it returns a date-time format field.

I tried the same with a Sybase database and the result is as I wished for.

Ca anyone please help.

Thank you.
