abstract public function DatabaseSchema::getFieldTypeMap in Drupal 7

Returns a mapping of Drupal schema field names to DB-native field types.

Because different field types do not map 1:1 between databases, Drupal has its own normalized field type names. This function returns a driver-specific mapping table from Drupal names to the native names for each database.

Return value

array An array of Schema API field types to driver-specific field types.
