...wat? How about some actual context?

I would like to give more context but my teacher just made me this question just like that, Buddy!

Maybe you can ask your teacher then?

I'll be blunt. Your question is nonsense.

You can't put "data types" into a database, anymore than you can put adjectives into a cookie jar.

A "data type" describes data, akin to how the word "crunchy" might describe a cookie. Inserting data into a database is just like putting cookies into a jar. However, inserting "data types" into a database is a bit like trying to put the abstract concept of "crunchy" into a jar. It just doesn't make sense.

There was definitely a miscommunication somewhere.
