About this document
Understanding Binary Integer Types by Nishki Gejmer is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Binary integers are useful for computational efficiency and come in many sizes in SQL Anywhere. The supported binary integer types include TINYINT (1 byte, 0-255), SMALLINT (2 bytes, -32,768 to 32,767), INTEGER (4 bytes, various ranges), and BIGINT (8 bytes, various ranges). Each type supports both signed and unsigned variants which doubles the maximum positive values. BIT is useful for boolean fields and stores each value in a full byte.
