    <para>
	Each cell in a database table can be of a different type. To
	distinguish among these types, the <type>db_type_t</type> enumeration
	is used. Every value of the enumeration represents one data-type that
	is recognized by the database <acronym>API</acronym>. This enumeration
	is used in conjunction with <type>db_type_t</type>. For more
	information, see the next section.
