I just re-read your last mail, and I now see that I misread it.

But I still don't grasp how the SQLData implementation (readSQL/
writeSQL) knows whether it's supposed to read or write the internal
on-disk representation (type C) or the external binary (type B) format?

Do I need three different SQLData implementations, one for send (read C,
write B), one for receiving (read B, write C), and one for the type
mapping (read C, write C)? And which of them are supposed to have the
toString()/parse() methods?

Anyhow, I'm going to re-read our discussion and the source tomorrow,
maybe a little more sleep helps. :-)

Thanks,
Markus
