This table shows the recommended data types for extracting data from the databases supported in Qt. Note that types used in Qt are not necessarily valid as input types to a specific database system. e.g., A double might work perfectly as input for floating point records in a particular database, but not necessarily as a storage format for output from that database, because it would be stored with 64-bit precision in C++.
