TYPE is a reserved word, if you can't change your schema then reference the
column using dbl quotes "TYPE", this method is case sensitive and is, AFAIK,
only available in dialect 3, could be wrong though :-)

Yes, see above.

Try something like:

'Select Description
from Sampletypes
where "type"=:Type'

But to be honest, your probable better off changing your schema to a more
descriptive name, i.e. PersonType.
