This is a great idea, thank you for your work on it so far.

The 2.0.x codebase has been refactored a lot recently so the MR will need to be redone.

Yes indeed, I see new and amazing things here!
I'll open a new branch/MR

With the new codebase, it's much better to extend field types! Amazing work

I've introduced getFieldColumns(), but I think we might not need it. It's still a WIP.

dimitriskr changed the visibility of the branch 2.0.x to hidden.

I've seen some parts of the code that could be merged, and merged them ie in Entity::replace() and Entity::search(), the way we replace the value is common.

I think the Entity::getFieldStringColumns() should stay, but it blocks other driver compatibility (Project page reports only mysql compatibility). You have a better experience in Drupal's API so if there is another place we can get the table structure of the field being driver-agnostic, we can replace it.

Keeping it NW for the test

This is great, thank you!

Should the "mysqlStringTypes" bit be abstracted out to make it easier for the module to support different database types? Right now it only works with MySQL, but I would like to expand it to other DBs later.

I didn't find anything similar on other drivers like mysql's Schema::mysqlStringTypes property. There might be a query to retrieve the proper data types that represent strings so we can have something common there. We have to invent it
