[1] – 如果FieldsAsString 选项被设置 True,则除BLOB和TEXT数据类型外,全部做为ftString来处理
[2] – Oracle NUMBER数据类型与Delphi数据类型对应方式:
if scale equals zero, provider checks values of the specific options to choose the correct Delphi type in the following order:
1.1 field precision is less or equal Precision Smallint (default is 4) - uses ftSmallint;
 1.2 field precision is less or equal Precision Integer (default is 9) - uses ftInteger;
 1.3 field precision is less or equal Precision LargeInt (default is 18) - uses ftLargeint;
if scale is greater than zero, the appropriate Delphi type is chosen using the following sequence of rules:.
2.1 field precision is less or equal PrecisionFloat (default is 0) - uses ftFloat;
 2.2 EnableBCD is True and field precision, scale is less or equal PrecisionBCD (default is 14,4) - uses ftBCD;
 2.3 EnableFMTBCD is True and field precision, scale is less or equal PrecisionFMTBCD (default is 38,38) - uses ftFMTBCD;
 2.4 uses ftFloat.
[3] - The appropriate Delphi type is chosen using the following sequence of rules:
EnableBCD is True and field precision, scale is less or equal 14,4 - uses ftBCD;
EnableFMTBCD is True - uses ftFMTBCD;
uses ftFloat.
[4] - If the EnableBoolean option is True
[5] - If the RawAsString option is True
[6] - If the BinaryAsString is True
[7] - If the UseUnicode option is True, all server types mapped to ftString will be mapped to ftWideString.
[8] - If the LongStrings option is False, and the field length is greater than 255, all server types mapped to ftString will be mapped to ftMemo.
[9] - For all Delphi versions prior to BDS 2006.
[10] - If the UseUnicode option is True, in BDS 2006 and later versions all server types mapped to ftMemo will be mapped to ftWideMemo.
[11] - For BDS 2006 and higher IDE versions.
