Remarks

The ValidateField method takes a Field definition as input, and based on its field type, scale and precision, returns a field definition that represents more closely how that field is actually stored in the database.

For example, a field whose type is esriFieldTypeSingle and its precision and scale are 0, then it will actually be stored in the database as a double.
