> I really don't know if it's a string. AFAIK the framework could give my ints when it sees a number. In addition to alexvoda's comment: If you don't know what you get from your framework, then how do you know that you database frontend can handle it? Maybe in some cases, your framework gives you a list of lists, or a hashmap, and your database has no idea what to do with it. I really hope that's not the level of thoroughness you spend on your professional work. Besides, if your framework were statically typed, it would either give you a String, or some kind of Variant/Any/Object with a to_string() method, the output of which can be passed to your database. There, problem solved, no time wasted, and you can be sure that whatever your framework does, your database can handle it.
