Method Detail

isEquivalent

  def isEquivalent(datatype: DataType): Boolean
Tests whether this datatype is equivalent to another. Usually, two types are defined as equivalent if they are equal. Two types can be equivalent without being equal if values of those types will be encoded in the same native Scala type.

isSubtypeOf

  def isSubtypeOf(datatype: DataType): Boolean
Tests whether this datatype is equivalent or a subtype of another datatype. Type A is said to be subtype of type B if any value of type A can be represented as a value of type B.

sqlString

  override def sqlString: String
A SQL-99 compliant string representation of the type.
