Enum DataType 

pub enum DataType {
    SmallInt,
    Int,
    BigInt,
    Float,
    Text,
    Varchar(u32),
    Char(u32),
    Bool,
    Vector {
        dim: u32,
        encoding: VecEncoding,
    },
    Numeric {
        precision: u8,
        scale: u8,
    },
    Date,
    Timestamp,
    Interval,
    Json,
}

Runtime type tags. Vector { dim, encoding } / Varchar(max) / Char(size) are parameterised; the parameter travels with both the column schema and the on-wire serialised representation.

Variants

SmallInt

16-bit signed. Backed by Value::SmallInt(i16); arithmetic that would overflow surfaces as a type error at INSERT time.

Int

BigInt

Float

Text

Varchar(u32)

VARCHAR(n) — same byte representation as Text, but INSERT rejects values longer than n Unicode characters.

Char(u32)

CHAR(n) — same representation as Text, but INSERT right-pads with U+0020 to exactly n Unicode characters (or rejects when the input is already longer).

Bool

Vector

pgvector-style fixed-dimension vector. encoding selects the in-cell representation (F32 = pre-v6 raw f32 buffer; Sq8 = v6.0.1 8-bit scalar-quantised). The DDL grammar surfaces encoding via the optional USING <encoding> clause: VECTOR(128) USING SQ8.

Fields

dim: u32

encoding: VecEncoding

Numeric

NUMERIC(precision, scale) — exact fixed-point decimal stored as a scaled i128. precision caps total decimal digits, scale fixes digits after the decimal point. v1.12 supports up to precision 38 (the i128-safe ceiling). NUMERIC and NUMERIC(p) surface as Numeric { precision: p, scale: 0 }.

Fields

precision: u8

scale: u8

Date

DATE — calendar date with day precision, stored as i32 days since the Unix epoch (1970-01-01).

Timestamp

TIMESTAMP (a.k.a. MySQL DATETIME) — instant with microsecond precision, stored as i64 microseconds since the Unix epoch.

Interval

INTERVAL — calendar-aware span (months + microseconds). v2.11 supports INTERVAL only as a runtime intermediate (literals, arithmetic results); on-disk encoding is rejected so this branch can’t appear in a ColumnSchema.

Json

v4.9: JSON / JSONB — text-backed JSON document. We don’t parse the content (no path operators or jsonb functions yet) — the column accepts any TEXT-compatible value and round-trips it verbatim. Equivalent to Text storage with a distinct type tag for the wire layer (PG OID 114).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for DataType

fn clone(&self) -> DataType

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for DataType

impl Debug for DataType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for DataType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Eq for DataType

impl PartialEq for DataType

fn eq(&self, other: &DataType) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
