Hi!
They are currently the same data. I'm happy to either say:
1) We remove one.
2) Display the value of the real type, vs the type the user required (ie, give
insight into some of the inheritance in types).
I believe the column is there, just because MySQL had both columns. I think I
remember that mysql used one of the columns to display the additional unireg
information.
Cheers,
-Brian
