binary()
The term binary(n) describes a
Datatype,
or
binary datatype.
Like all binary datatypes, the datatype binary(n) is also an expansion of
Transact-SQL.
The datatype binary(n) requires n
bytes
of storage space.
The parameter n can represent values of less or equal 255 (n <= 255).
Using the datatype binary(n)
The maximum length of binary(n) depends on the
page size
configured for
ASE-Server
as well as on the
locking scheme
or "lock scheme" of its
tables
. If the limits are not known or have to be changed, the commands
dbcc serverlimits
or
lockscheme()
might be of help. Independent of the "page size" of the ASE-server binary(n) can be used for binary raw data, which cannot be larger than 16384 bytes.
