Re: [fw-db] Fetched values all converted to strings

First of all, it would be slow(er).

Secondly, how would you convert integers outside of PHP-supported
bounds?

And would you also covert timestamps to DateTime (or even Zend_Date)?
Etc...

Also, I don't know if table metadata is always available, for example
when not using Zend_Db_Table. And what would you do when user just
does $db->query("SELECT 1") or some other query which doesn't map
directly to table columns?

But most importantly, _WHY_ would you? :)

PHP is a loosely typed language and stuff like this is done
automagically for you. Think about all the times you get integers from
HTTP requests and never worry about them being strings.
