Carlos,

Expresso by and large, doesn't directory support DatabaseSpecific types 
because of the compatability problems that can crop up. [Remember that 
Expresso-based apps are designed to work cross db].

However you can always grab a DBConnection yourself and execute custom SQL 
to utilitize those fields.  You can then use virtual fields and overrides 
of add/update/etc to get it to work properly with a DBObject object.

HTH!
