binding types ... kinda promises ... the types will be honored.
You are right but there are other aspects. If I pull a record, change someone's middle initial, then update the record; do I want a ' 4' to be corrected to a canonical '4'? Will all the other programs using my CSV file approve? When one tightens up on type handling, little problems start popping up. Often they keep popping up. Incidentally, the test changed: SQL_INTEGER() and &SQL_INTEGER can differ semantically.
Be well,
