    \class QSqlField qsqlfield.h
    \brief The QSqlField class manipulates the fields in SQL database tables
    and views.

    \ingroup database
    \module sql

    QSqlField represents the characteristics of a single column in a
    database table or view, such as the data type and column name. A
    field also contains the value of the database column, which can be
    viewed or changed.

    Field data values are stored as QVariants. Using an incompatible
    type is not permitted. For example:

    \code
    QSqlField f( "myfield", QVariant::Int );
    f.setValue( QPixmap() );  // will not work
    \endcode

    However, the field will attempt to cast certain data types to the
    field data type where possible:

    \code
    QSqlField f( "myfield", QVariant::Int );
    f.setValue( QString("123") ); // casts QString to int
    \endcode

    QSqlField objects are rarely created explicitly in application
    code. They are usually accessed indirectly through \l QSqlRecord
    or \l QSqlCursor which already contain a list of fields. For
    example:

    \code
    QSqlCursor cur( "Employee" );        // create cursor using the 'Employee' table
    QSqlField* f = cur.field( "name" );  // use the 'name' field
    f->setValue( "Dave" );               // set field value
    ...
    \endcode

    In practice we rarely need to extract a pointer to a field at all.
    The previous example would normally be written:

    \code
    QSqlCursor cur( "Employee" );
    cur.setValue( "name", "Dave" );
    ...
    \endcode
*/

    made to cast it to the proper type. This preserves the data type
    of the field in the case of assignment, e.g. a QString to an
    integer data type. For example:

    \code
    QSqlCursor cur( "Employee" );                 // 'Employee' table
