CAST types passed as strings

[0x6e6562]

Currently, to cast a field to a given type, you need to supply the string representation of the underlying SQL type. This is neither type safe nor portable. We should introduce a strongly typed representation that can be adjusted for target dialects.

As my grandmother used to say, 9 times out of 10, you should just use JOOQ and be done with it. On the 10th time you might think about porting it to another platform, but you then you still use JOOQ.

What a wise grandmother! :)
