2.1. Conversion - Access functions - data conversion

ODABA provides built-in conversions, which usually convert values in operations to the format of the left operator. Besides, one may request elementary values in different data types, which can be requested by explicit conversion functions.

Explicit conversion functions are supported for elementary values, only, and not for arrays and complex data types (except DateTime ). In order to convert single array elements, the value has to be indexed by the [] operator.
