[query <srv_id> insert into mytable (id, name, token) values (?f,'?s','?s')] In this example, the first placeholder would expect a Float, with the next two expecting a Symbol (just think of this as a variation on the printf string substitutions).
It looks more like the types of [t] [pack] [unpack] [expr] etc.
You don't really need to type your data. SQL is largely typeless: at least at the level of what you can put in one table cell, anything is a string. It becomes typed (but auto-cast) when put in the cell, but rebecomes untyped when taken out of the cell.
but considering that the databases need to know the specific data types for each placeholder,
heh? do they?
