Well, I got confused because we already have a get_sql_type() method and now I had to add a get_gda_type() method which seems odd. Anyway, I wasn't talking about number<->string conversions but of having equivalent database converted (GdaNumeric<->gint, string->gchararray->varchar). Regards, Johannes
