Values are inserted into each column and returned in the SELECT statement. The following example creates a table using the bigint, int, smallint, and tinyint data types. The following example shows that when the threshold value is exceeded, the data type of the result changes from an int to a decimal. Integer constants greater than 2,147,483,647 are converted to the decimal data type, not the bigint data type. When integers are implicitly converted to a character data type, if the integer is too large to fit into the character field, SQL Server enters ASCII character 42, the asterisk (*). The tinyint data type is not supported in Microsoft Fabric. For example, the result value of an autoparameterized query that includes the expression SELECT CAST (1.0 / 7 AS float), differs from the result value of the same query that is not autoparameterized, because the results of the autoparameterized query, are truncated to fit into the numeric (10, 0) data type. When the / operator is involved, not only can the result type's precision differ among similar queries, but the result value can differ also.
When a query is autoparameterized, the constant value is always converted to numeric (10, 0) before converting to the final data type. For example, the constant value 1 is converted to numeric (1, 0), and the constant value 250 is converted to numeric (3, 0). When a query is not autoparameterized, the constant value is first converted to numeric, whose precision is just large enough to hold the value of the constant, before converting to the specified data type.
Let us create a table to understand unsigned in MySQL. Therefore, similar expressions in queries can sometimes produce different results. Unsigned allows us to enter positive value you cannot give any negative number. When you use the +, -, *, /, or % arithmetic operators to perform implicit or explicit conversion of int, smallint, tinyint, or bigint constant values to the float, real, decimal or numeric data types, the rules that SQL Server applies when it calculates the data type and precision of the expression results differ depending on whether the query is autoparameterized or not. SQL Server does not automatically promote other integer data types ( tinyint, smallint, and int) to bigint. The bigint data type is intended for use when integer values might exceed the range that is supported by the int data type.īigint fits between smallmoney and int in the data type precedence chart.įunctions return bigint only if the parameter expression is a bigint data type. The int data type is the primary integer data type in SQL Server. But tinyint would not be sufficient for a building's age because a building can be more than 255 years old. For example, tinyint would be sufficient for a person's age because no one lives to be more than 255 years old. To save space in the database, use the smallest data type that can reliably contain all possible values.
