Ideally we should have some knowledge of > the types in the database, but I'm not sure if that is realistic. Well metabase can do both. Metabase has internal datatypes that it maps to RDBMS specific datatypes. These datatypes are used for prepared queries and can also be used for normal queries. Metabase is also aware of the escape characters for each RDBMS.
