All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression
```
public final class DatabaseType
extends AbstractDoubleEncapsulatedExpression
```
This expression represents the database specific data type, which may include size and scale.
BNF: database_type ::= data_type_literal [( [numeric_literal [, numeric_literal]] )]

BNF: data_type_literal ::= [CHAR, VARCHAR, NUMERIC, INTEGER, DATE, TIME, TIMESTAMP, etc]

Example: CASE(e.name AS VARCHAR(20))
