CustomSqlType<T extends Object> class abstract interface

Interface for a custom SQL type.

Being designed with sqlite3 as its primary database engine, drift lacks builtin support for the rich type system found in more complex database systems like postgres. By providing the CustomSqlType interface, drift can be extended to support any database type by customizing the way these types are mapped from and to the database.

To create a custom type, implement this interface. You can now create values of this type by passing it to Constant or Variable, Expression.cast and other methods operating on types. Custom types can also be applied to table columns, see https://drift.simonbinder.eu/docs/sql-api/types/ for details.
