 ADOdb provides a cross-platform method of identifying the data type of a field. These values can be used as a replacement in code that relies on the data type of field to produce a result. Each database driver contains a cross-reference table of datatypes that can accessed using the [[v5:dictionary:metatype|metaType()]] method. ADOdb provides a cross-platform method of identifying the data type of a field.
