[Qgis-developer] SIP API Update merged. Attention plugin authors

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Nathan,

bear with me I have a really basic question concerning you mail and 
advice [1]. I use quite a lot of QtSql.QSqlQuerys in my plugins to 
retrieve data from a PostgreSQL database. The value() method currently 
returns a QVariant. What is it supposed to return in the future or are 
only QGIS methods affected by what you describe? In the latter case your 
advice in [1] can be very misleading telling people to remove all 
toString(), toInt() etc.
