The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

But in my functions I do not test or other wise know that the value of a

said so far, DB2 seems to know that the string I am inserting is a number
and stores it correctly. So in my testing and what I have read, I have not
been very concerned.
Then no doubt DB2 is attempting to coerce the values it receives into
the appropriate type for storage in the table, and if it succeeds,
then it quietly continues processing.
What I'm a little confused about actually is that you don't know the
types of the values. You said you're using PHP, which is among the
most weakly typed languages out there; but nevertheless, it has
type-testing functions (like gettype(), is_numeric(), and so forth).
If you care about the types, why can't you just use those functions in
your code?
