I need to play some tricks, I am not at liberty to get into the details on why, so please do not ask.
I have a situation where 3rd party code is using the results of the Firebird query. This is not the case, but it is similar: The 3rd party code demands that the type be an System.UInt16, if it is not that specific type, it blows up. So, the solution I have come up with is to add a new domain type UINT16 and it a base type that will hold the value. Then hack the Firebird .Net provider such that the DbField.GetDbDataType() detect that the value is this special domain type and return a new DbDataType. Folks, I know there might be some holes in this approach based on the info provided, but I simply am not providing all the facts because I am simply not at liberty to disclose them. I know, without any doubt that this approach will for the real situation, iff I can figure out the relationship between the isc_info_sql_type/isc_info_sql_sub_type and the domain type. When I look at the values, the isc_info_sql_sub_type is that of the base type of the domain, the isc_info_sql_type has a value of isc_info_sql_sub_type + 1. When I look in rdb$fields table, I don't find the numeric value of the isc_info_sql_type, nor do I find any relationship between the two. Can someone shield some light on this?
