Description

Right now by default DatabaseProvider class returns EmptyTypeList. But surprisingly, TestNG is unable to handle empty list and throws NPE in tests which run for DB providers which dont have their own TypesLists.

We should add a DefaultTypesList which returns a minimal type (INT) and some tests on it and return it by default instead of EmptyTypeList.
