DBMS systems usually have quite large set of data types (which can sometimes be expanded by users). Each GdaDictType object represents one data type. The libgda library provides some data types, and so it is possible, for each GdaDictType object, to get the corresponding libgda data type.
Every data type can be represented by a GdaDictType (even user defined data types). Complex data types (data types described as the aggregation of several other data types, like C structures) are handled like any other data type and it is not possible to individually access the different components of the complex data type (it is, however, possible to write a plugin for this data type).
It implements the GdaXmlStorage interface.
GdaDictType* gda_dict_type_new (GdaDict *dict);
Creates a new GdaDictType object which represent a data type defined in a data dictionary

sqlname : |
const gchar* gda_dict_type_get_sqlname (GdaDictType *dt);
