getXXX methods

There is a table in the jdbc spec which suggests that
there is a preferred method for getting the column information, and at
non-preferred method.

For example

getByte can be used to get a:

byte --- obviously
short
long
real
float
double
decimal
numeric
bit
char
varchar
longvarchar


Currently this is not implemented as such, there are a few questions I
have though

would all the numeric values be truncated ?

What do we do with char, varchar, longvarchar ?
