If you access the database strictly through your software, this is trivially easy if you are using a strongly typed language like Pascal or C. Simply force the data to be of the appropriate type in your program and it will be stored as the appropriate type in your database.
If you are allowing direct access to the database via SQL, you can probably assume that any user smart enough to write their own insert/update queries can probably also work out the correct data types. If not, you may wish to reconsider allowing direct SQL access.
