Close, but no banana.  Every value has a type.  A column may contain multiple 
values (as in one per row).  Therefore each of those values has a type, which 
may be different from the type of the value in the same column on another row.  
Columns have an affinity, which is a preference for the type of the value to be 
stored in that columns' rows if conversion from the value provided to be stored 
to the specified affinity is possible, lossless, and reversible.
