That's certainly a nice thought. For the programming languages, the types would need to be native to the language, or the language should support operator overloading, so that working with the common data types would feel natural.

JDBC already has a number of types to match SQL's, but I haven't met anyone who has standardized on those - probably because Java doesn't offer operator overloading, so working with the SQL-matching types become a pain.

I wonder if anyone has created a set of SQL-matching types for C++?
