gettype

A typed value reports string, int, long, real, bool, datetime, timespan or guid (a typed null keeps its type's name). A value inside a dynamic reports null, array, dictionary, string, bool, long, double, datetime or timespan: a real inside a dynamic is double, and an int packed into one is long.

Divergences from Microsoft Kusto:

• Berserk has no runtime guid value. A guid-typed column reports guid, but a guid literal, toguid() and a guid packed into a dynamic are strings and report string.
• Berserk has no decimal type, so decimal is never reported.
• parse_json keeps a datetime- or guid-shaped JSON string a string; Kusto stores it as a dynamic datetime or guid.
