I was thinking about this yesterday, the format of on-disk only applies to MyISAM. I don't think many people realize how few primitive types Innodb has (which is fine... I'm not entirely convinced this makes much of a difference in the 80/20 rule).

If we adjust a few things we could probably just read data types that were generated by MySQL, aka... translate in the handler, that we don't currently support. For us it would just be putting a priority on the static field array in field.cc (which is really the biggest issue when it comes to having loadable types right now). Not a hard problem, just one that will take a bit of time to code.

Cheers,
