MSBinary in mssql should be BINARY not IMAGE
Issue #1249
resolved
MSBinary is currently returning IMAGE. We really need to have MSBinary return BINARY, MSVarBinary return VARBINARY, and MSImage return IMAGE. This would be a breaking change since IMAGE is a deprecated version of MSVarBinary(max).

reporter I'm not seeing any docs or webpages with regard to lack of VARBINARY support on pymssql. Would you be willing to try the attached patch and let me know.

Note that I believe that pymssql may not understand VARBINARY, so the ideal would be to have this behavior switchable, or Dialect-specific.
