Select returns negative values for unsigned datatypes in MySQL DB

Question

Hi, I have a table in a MySQL database where some fields are declared as "unsigned".
Example:
CREATE TABLE countries (
Country_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
Number SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL
My problem is when inside a .xsql file, I try to do a select:
<xsql:query>
select Number from countries where Country_id="15"
</xsql:query>
If inside the Database, Number always goes from 0 to 65535 (UNSIGNED SMALLINT),
the resulting XML of that query will always show negative values if Number is
bigger than 32767 (so it ignores the "UNSIGNED").
Have you seen something like this before? Do you kwno what I'm doing wrong or what
can I do to retrieve the values unsigned?
Thanks a lot!
