You're wrong in the last sample, it doesn't create memo field.

If you use VFP9 you can use CAST function to create fields of the desired type.

However, if you want to run your statement against different back-end, you would not always be able to convert to desired field type if the backend doesn't support it. In this case you can have a cursor with needed structure and append from the resulting cursor.
