SQLite allows one to store different types of data for a single
column, which is obviously a problem (Using SQLite it's up to the
programmer to know beforehand the type he wants).

As for the API extension, it could be possible to add some parameters
to the execute() function implemented within each provider to specify
what GType is expected for each column of the SELECT query being
executed (note that the current operating mode would still be
useable).
