SADbType enumeration

Enumerates the SQL Anywhere .NET database data types.

Syntax

Visual Basic

Public Enum SADbType

C#

public enum SADbType

Remarks

The table below lists which .NET types are compatible with each SADbType. In the case of integral types, table columns can always be set using smaller integer types, but can also be set using larger types as long as the actual value is within the range of the type.

SADbType	Compatible .NET type	C# built-in type	Visual Basic built-in type
BigInt	System. Int64	long	Long
Binary, VarBinary	System. Byte[], or System. Guid if size is 16	byte[]	Byte()
Bit	System. Boolean	bool	Boolean
Char, VarChar	System. String	String	String
Date	System. DateTime	DateTime (no built-in type)	Date
DateTime, TimeStamp	System. DateTime	DateTime (no built-in type)	Date
Decimal, Numeric	System. String	decimal	Decimal
Double	System. Double	double	Double
Float, Real	System. Single	float	Single
Image	System. Byte[]	byte[]	Byte()
Integer	System. Int32	int	Integer
LongBinary	System. Byte[]	byte[]	Byte()
LongNVarChar	System. String	String	String
LongVarChar	System. String	String	String
Money	System. String	decimal	Decimal
NChar	System. String	String	String
NText	System. String	String	String
Numeric	System. String	decimal	Decimal
NVarChar	System. String	String	String
SmallDateTime	System. DateTime	DateTime (no built-in type)	Date
SmallInt	System. Int16	short	Short
SmallMoney	System. String	decimal	Decimal
SysName	System. String	String	String
Text	System. String	String	String
Time	System. TimeSpan	TimeSpan (no built-in type)	TimeSpan (no built-in type)
TimeStamp	System. DateTime	DateTime (no built-in type)	Date
TinyInt	System. Byte	byte	Byte
UniqueIdentifier	System. Guid	Guid (no built-in type)	Guid (no built-in type)
UniqueIdentifierStr	System. String	String	String
UnsignedBigInt	System. UInt64	ulong	UInt64 (no built-in type)
UnsignedInt	System. UInt32	uint	UInt64 (no built-in type)
UnsignedSmallInt	System. UInt16	ushort	UInt64 (no built-in type)
Xml	System. System.Xml	String	String

Binary columns of length 16 are fully compatible with the UniqueIdentifier type.

Members

Member name	Description	Value
BigInt	Signed 64-bit integer.	1
Binary	Binary data, with a specified maximum length. The enumeration values Binary and VarBinary are aliases of each other.	2
Bit	1-bit flag.	3
Char	Character data, with a specified length. This type always supports Unicode characters. The types Char and VarChar are fully compatible.	4
Date	Date information.	5
DateTime	Timestamp information (date, time). The enumeration values DateTime and TimeStamp are aliases of each other.	6
Decimal	Exact numerical data, with a specified precision and scale. The enumeration values Decimal and Numeric are aliases of each other.	7
Double	Double precision floating-point number (8 bytes).	8
Float	Single precision floating-point number (4 bytes). The enumeration values Float and Real are aliases of each other.	9
Image	Stores binary data of arbitrary length.	10
Integer	Unsigned 32-bit integer.	11
LongBinary	Binary data, with variable length.	12
LongNVarchar	Character data in the NCHAR character set, with variable length. This type always supports Unicode characters.	13
LongVarbit	Bit arrays, with variable length.	14
LongVarchar	Character data, with variable length. This type always supports Unicode characters.	15
Money	Monetary data.	16
NChar	Stores Unicode character data, up to 8191 characters.	17
NText	Stores Unicode character data of arbitrary length.	18
Numeric	Exact numerical data, with a specified precision and scale. The enumeration values Decimal and Numeric are aliases of each other.	19
NVarChar	Stores Unicode character data, up to 8191 characters.	20
Real	Single precision floating-point number (4 bytes). The enumeration values Float and Real are aliases of each other.	21
SmallDateTime	A domain, implemented as TIMESTAMP.	22
SmallInt	Signed 16-bit integer.	23
SmallMoney	Stores monetary data that is less than one million currency units.	24
SysName	Stores character data of arbitrary length.	25
Text	Stores character data of arbitrary length.	26
Time	Time information.	27
TimeStamp	Timestamp information (date, time). The enumeration values DateTime and TimeStamp are aliases of each other.	28
TinyInt	Unsigned 8-bit integer.	29
UniqueIdentifier	Universally Unique Identifier (UUID/GUID).	30
UniqueIdentifierStr	A domain, implemented as CHAR( 36 ). UniqueIdentifierStr is used for remote data access when mapping Microsoft SQL Server uniqueidentifier columns.	31
UnsignedBigInt	Unsigned 64-bit integer.	32
UnsignedInt	Unsigned 32-bit integer.	33
UnsignedSmallInt	Unsigned 16-bit integer.	34
VarBinary	Binary data, with a specified maximum length. The enumeration values Binary and VarBinary are aliases of each other.	35
VarBit	Bit arrays that are from 1 to 32767 bits in length.	36
VarChar	Character data, with a specified maximum length. This type always supports Unicode characters. The types Char and VarChar are fully compatible.	37
Xml	XML data. This type stores character data of arbitrary length, and is used to store XML documents.	38
