It does help and thank you.. On the other hand it raises a question.. 
(Which if one of the Npgsql guys is on the list maybe he/she can answer)..

With SQL server the (int) type casting works.. Which brings the question 
of why not for Npgsql?  I mean.. It's returning either an object or a 
string.. (I think an object if I read the doc properly)  So I should be 
able to unbox it the same way?  This is looking like an undocumented 
feature and I'm thinking it's maybe on the Npgsql side of things..

Cheers,

C.
