<p>Because data types vary a lot from a DBMS to another, the <a class="link" href="libgda-5.0-Default-Data-handlers.html#GdaDataHandler"><span class="type">GdaDataHandler</span></a> interface helps
managing data in its various representations, and converting from one to another:</p>

<li class="listitem"><p>as a human readable string (in the user defined locale)</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>as an SQL string (a string which can be used in SQL statements)</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>For each data type, a corresponding <a class="link" href="libgda-5.0-Default-Data-handlers.html#GdaDataHandler"><span class="type">GdaDataHandler</span></a> object can be requested using the</p>

<p>with a specific database provider, it's better to use a <a class="link" href="libgda-5.0-Default-Data-handlers.html#GdaDataHandler"><span class="type">GdaDataHandler</span></a> which may be specific to the
database provider which will correctly handle each database specifics using</p>
