Any helper functions for checking RecordFieldType compatibility?

Are there are any helper functions that would be useful for checking a
source RecordFieldType and a target RecordFieldType and letting you know if
the source is compatible with the target?

At this point, I don't have a Record object. It's simply evaluating
RecordFieldTypes off of two RecordSchema objects.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks. I'll look at that.

Mike,

You may want to look at DataTypeUtils.mergeDataTypes( final DataType thisDataType, final DataType otherDataType )
I don't believe this is exactly what you are looking for, but will likely give you a good starting point, if you
were to implement such a helper method.

Thanks
