Subject Data Types in IBO
Author Jack Cane, PhD
My database uses TiboDatabase. I detect field names using SchemaCache
properties, and am trying to detect data types using db.datasets[ i
].fields[ j ], etc.

I am converting some legacy code which used tIboQuery to compare datatypes
with ftString, ftMemo, etc.

My new code uses tib_column properties, where I can only find Boolean
properties isText, isBlob, isNumeric, etc. I am looking for a way to
distinguish between the old ftString and ftMemo. This is important because
of the web interface, in which the controls differ between string and memo
types. Better yet would be some syntax allowing me to continue using the
ftxx syntax with tib_column if possible.

Any ideas appreciated.
