Thanks, everyone.  I appreciate all the insight.  As for the data type, I have 
a few follow up questions...

Does the data type start at being the same as the column affinity in the 
underlying table and then adjust if the actual data isn't of that type?

And, if I don't know the underlying table structure, I am guessing that I 
should always treat INTEGER as a potential int64?

Thanks,

Marc
