I am not sure this belongs in the core
spec.  At the moment there are only wrapper objects in Java.  I
believe there has been some discussion about defining them for C++, that
has not happened yet.  And it unlikely to ever happen for C.

Subject	[sdo] Action Item #0000 (SDO-56) Proposal

Here is a proposal for SDO-56:

In Section 4.1.3 of the core spec, change the last paragraph from this:

An SDO implementation may, but is not required to, support conversion between DataObject and DataType values. For example, getDataObject() on String-type property may return a wrapper DataObject for the string value, and getString() on a DataObject property may do the reverse. The exact behavior of this conversion, if supported, is implementation dependent.

to this:

Conversion between DataType values and wrapper DataObjects (i.e., DataTypeWrappers) is also supported. For example, getDataObject() on a String-type property will return a wrapper DataObject for the string value, and getString() on a DataObject property will do the reverse. The set of supported conversions specified in DataType Conversions applies similarly to wrappers, that is, if the type of a DataTypeWrapper value property (e.g., Int), is compatible with some other DataType (e.g., String), then conversion from the wrapper to the DataType is allowed.

Thanks,
Frank.
