Ok, cool then. :)
This is not an issue of how the user sees these things, it is how the C code
interfaces with the database.
yes.
SQLite does. MySQL appears to as well. And yes, it is possible to just
force everything to be a string/c-string and be done with it. SQLite
actually stores everything as a string anyway, despite the defined types
in the create statement.
I think that it's plenty good if you have separate calls for when an atom
is a float and when an atom is a symbol. It's not any more extra code and
I don't think that it's a good idea to use atom_string anyway.
