>
> When you execute a select * query against a view created from a file (eg. from JSON or CSV), the data type of the columns returned reflect the nature of the data in the column (varchar, bigint, etc).
> But in INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS, the data type is listed as 'ANY'.
> Note that if it was casted during the create view statement, then INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS will display it correctly as whatever it was casted to.
