Hi all,

I found that there are certain type are being defined as "Specialized
Types" in the fieldtype<db>.xml ..... i wonder why are they termed
'special' as the sql-type and java-type are basically almost the same.

1 example is tel-number where the sql-type is TEXT and the java-type is
String

Tried to search on the web for info but can't find any. Is there any
purpose they served? Currently i'm building an entity that has a field for
phone number, should i use tel-number or just use the long-varchar?

Thanx
FooShyn
