This won't give you low-level conversion. For example, if you created a
numeric(10,0) in dialect, it's stored as a double. If you change the dialect
of the db, the field will continue being stored as a double. If you had
created it directly in dialect 3, it would have been stored as an INT_64
internally. There are other differences, too. Better if you read about them
in the IB official site.

BTW, What's Iertbase? :-)
