Could you clarify what you really want to do? Your question is not
clear at all, at least to me. What do you mean by "using

Faster than what?

If you want data_types, you can use SELECT Typeof(column_name)

Or you can use sqlite3_column_decltype in conjunction with 
sqlite3_column_table_name, sqlite3_column_database_name, 
sqlite3_column_origin_name but to use the last three functions you will need 
compile sqlite with -DSQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA directive on LCFLAGS or 
something like this!

I use python sqlite embedded and in my application I have a panel where you
can
type a query and see the results in a panel's grid
Now suppose that I type a query like "select
a.field1, b.field2 from table1 a, table2 b " such data
will be displayed in grid but I need to know what types of data I obtained.
How do it?

That is because your table has probably defined those columns as TEXT.
Consider the following --

sqlite> CREATE TABLE t (a TEXT, b INTEGER);
sqlite> INSERT INTO t VALUES ('foo', 5);
sqlite> SELECT a, Typeof(a), b, Typeof(b) FROM t;
a   Typeof(a)   b   Typeof(b)
--  --  --  --
foo text5   integer

No, i'm sure. Probably typeof in python's sqlite is not supported very mell
or there is other explanation.

It works perfectly inside SQLite:

sqlite> CREATE TABLE tabA (a INTEGER, B INTEGER);
sqlite> INSERT INTO tabA VALUES (1,10);
sqlite> INSERT INTO tabA VALUES (2,20);
sqlite> CREATE TABLE tabB (theNum INTEGER, theName TEXT);
sqlite> INSERT INTO tabB VALUES (10,'albert');
sqlite> INSERT INTO tabB VALUES (20,'bertha');
sqlite> SELECT 
tabA.a,tabB.theNum,tabB.theName,typeof(tabB.theNum),typeof(tabB.theName) FROM 
tabA JOIN tabB ON tabB.theNum = tabA.b;
1|10|albert|integer|text
2|20|bertha|integer|text

Do the above in your platform and tell us what you get.

Typeof() is a sqlite3 function. Maybe the Python implementation is
overriding it. But, given that you are getting back "text" and not an
error, shows that you are using some Typeof() function. Using the
example db that I showed above, and the following Perl script, I get
the desired and expected output

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use DBI qw(:sql_types);

$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=/Users/punkish/Data/punkish/foo","","");
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT a, Typeof(a), b, Typeof(b) FROM t");
$sth->execute;

while (my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
print (join ", ", @row) . "\n";
}

 prints...

foo, text, 5, integer

It works perfectly in Python:

In [5]: c.execute("CREATE TABLE tabA (a INTEGER, B INTEGER)")
