SQLTYPEOF()

All functions > METADATA > SQLTYPEOF()

Returns the name of the translated storage type for the expression (after FeatureQL is lowered for execution).

Signatures

Returns: A string naming the execution target's type for that expression

SQLTYPEOF(expr: T) → VARCHAR

Notes

• Spelling is defined by the active execution target, not by FeatureQL's type names
• Compare with TYPEOF, which reports the FeatureQL type
• Useful when debugging how a value is represented after translation
