Supported Data Types in the Advantage SQL Engine

Advantage SQL Engine

The following is a list of data types supported by the Advantage SQL engine. Note that the names in the table are listed as they would appear in a CREATE TABLE statement. For example, to create a table with CHAR and INTEGER field types, you might use a statement like "CREATE TABLE test( c CHAR(25), i INTEGER )". Note that the BLOB data type name will create an Advantage BINARY field. It is not possible to create an Advantage IMAGE field through the CREATE TABLE statement. The SQL engine views both IMAGE and BINARY field types as BLOB (Binary Large OBject) fields.

See ADT Field Types and Specifications or DBF Field Types and Specifications for field type specification details.
