Conversions Involving DBTYPE_ARRAY

The following table describes conversions to and from types modified by DBTYPE_ARRAY. Type indicators X and Y are unmodified; when combined with DBTYPE_ARRAY, they cannot be DBTYPE_EMPTY or DBTYPE_NULL.

Source type indicator Target type indicator Notes
X Y | DBTYPE_ARRAY It is provider-specific whether this is supported.
X | DBTYPE_ARRAY Y It is provider-specific whether this is supported.
X | DBTYPE_ARRAY Y | DBTYPE_ARRAY If the provider supports a conversion from X to Y and the provider supports both X | DBTYPE_ARRAY and Y | DBTYPE_ARRAY, it must support this conversion. Any such conversions must follow the rules in this appendix.
X | DBTYPE_VECTOR Y | DBTYPE_ARRAY Not supported.
X | DBTYPE_ARRAY Y | DBTYPE_VECTOR Not supported.
