SQLite allows one to store different types of data for a single column, which is obviously a problem (Using SQLite it's up to the programmer to know beforehand the type he wants). As for the API extension, it could be possible to add some parameters to the execute() function implemented within each provider to specify what GType is expected for each column of the SELECT query being executed (note that the current operating mode would still be useable).
