get_value_from_sql

Description:

public abstract Value? get_value_from_sql (string? sql, Type type)

This is the opposite of the function get_sql_from_value. The type argument is used to determine the real data type requested for the returned value.

If the sql string is null, then the returned GValue is of type GDA_TYPE_NULL; if the sql string does not correspond to a valid SQL string for the requested type, then the null is returned.

Parameters:

this	an object which implements the DataHandler interface
sql	an SQL string, or null
type	a GType

Returns:

the new Value or null on error
