This is by design.
PDO is deliberately very thin on type support, prefering to give the
script author more control over type conversion by using the PHP
built-in type juggling features.
PgSQL returns other types because it is one of 2 drivers that gives
you what it's got, rather than what you ask
Hi,
while testing PDO I was astonished to see that all values (regardless of
their types in the database) are returned as strings (in all extensions
except for PgSQL). Why is that so? It _is_ quite inconsistent, isn't it?
Wasn't PDO supposed to _unify_ the RDBMS access apis?
