Ok I stared at the spec a bit..
It seems like the type you specify when registering is the type you
intend to retrieve via a get...() method, and the spec seems to imply
that the driver should cast the parameter to that type.. but it's vague
as usual.
The datatype conversion tables appendix does not talk about datatype
conversion on CallableStatement.get...() at all (though it does talk
about conversion in ResultSet).
So I suppose we should probably accept it and do a cast to the
appropriate type on return.
Am I right in thinking that OUT parameter types aren't considered part
of a function's signature and don't contribute to overloading at all?
