1 APPENDIX A Selected Tables SQL Server Data Types The data types available to you differ a great deal between Access and SQL Server. The following table lists all of the data types that can be used in SQL Server and their sizes and accuracies. For a description of what data type to choose in which situation, see "Choosing the Appropriate Data JYpe" in Chapter 8. Table A-1. SQL Server Data Types DATA TYPE binary DESCRIPTION Fixed-length binary (e.g., Word file) to a maximum size of8,000 bytes in SQL 7 and 255 bytes in SQL 6.5. bit char datetime decimal float image int money nchar ntext Integer (whole number) that is either a 1 or a 0. Fixed-length non-unicode text data to a maximum length of8,000 characters in SQL 7 and 255 characters in SQL 6.5. Date/time data between January 1, 1753 and December 31, Accurate to 3.33 milliseconds. Fixed precision (maximum total number of digits that can be stored left and right of the decimal) and scale (maximum total number of digits that can be stored right of the decimal) between and Floating point precision number between E308 and 1. 79E308. Variable-length binary (such as a file) to a maximum size of231-1 (2,147,483,647) bytes. Integer between -231 (-2,147,433,648) and (2,147,483,647). Monetary data accurate to 4 decimal places between -263 (-922,337,203,685, ) and 263 (922,337,203,685, ). (SQL 7 only) Fixed-length Unicode text data to a maximum length of 4,000 characters. (SQL 7 only) Variable-length Unicode text data to a maximum lengthof230-1 (1,073,741,823) characters. 321

2 Chapter A TableA-1. SQL Server Data 1Jpes (Continued) DATA TYPE numeric nvarchar real smalldatetime DESCRIPTION Same as decimal. (SQL 7 only) Variable-length Unicode text data to a maximum length of 4,000 characters. Floating point precision number between -3.4E38 and 3.4E38. Date/time data between January 1, 1900 and June 6, Accurate to one minute. smallint Integer between -215(-32,768) and (32,767). smallmoney Monetary data accurate to 4 decimal places between -214, and 214, text timestamp Variable-length non-unicode text data to a maximum length of 231_1 (2,147,483,647) characters. Unique identifier based on time and date of record modification. Cannot be modified directly. tinyint Integer between 0 and 255. uniqueidentifier varbinary varchar (SQL 7 Only) A globally unique identifier (GUID), such as the ones that Access creates for replication information. Variable-length binary to a maximum size of 8,000 bytes in SQL 7 and 255 bytes in SQL 6.5. Variable-length non-unicode text data to a maximum length of 8,000 characters in SQL 7 and 255 characters in SQL

3 Selected Tables Microsoft Access ODBC Registry Settings When using ODBC with Microsoft Access, there are a number of Registry settings you can use to affect how Access deals with ODBC data. See Table A-2. These Registry settings must be entered under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFIWARE\Microsoft\Offi.ce\8.0\Access\ Jet\3.5\Engi.nes\ODBC for Access 97, or under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFIWARE\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Access\ Jet\4.0\Engi.nes\ODBC for Access If the key does not exist, create it in order to add the Registry values that you need to use. Table A-2. ODBC Jet Registry Settings TYPE DEFAULT DESCRIPTION Login Timeout REG_DWORD (DWORD) 20 Number of seconds to wait for the server to respond before a login attempt times out and is considered failed. QueryTimeout REG_DWORD 60 Number of seconds to wait for a synchronous query to complete before it is cancelled and considered failed. Connection Timeout REG_DWORD 600 Number of seconds to wait before an idle connection is closed. AsyncRetrylnterval REG_DWORD 500 Number of milliseconds to wait between polling server to determine status of an asynchronous request. AttachCaseSensitive REG_DWORD 0 Determines whether to match table names exactly or to find the first table name matching the request, regardless ofletter case. 0 means match first, 1 means match exact name. AttachableObjects REG_SZ (String) 'TABLE', 'VIEW', Server object types that can be attached as 'SYSTEM TABLE', linked tables. Separate each item by a 'AllAS', 'SYNONYM' comma and enclose each item in single quotes (as default is). 323

4 Chapter A Table A-2. ODBC Jet Registry Settings (Continued) NAME TYPE DEFAULT DESCRIPTION SnapshotOnly REG_DWORD 0 Determines whether to include or ignore indexes on linked tables, forcing recordset cursor type. If 0, indexes are used if possible and dynaset-type recordsets can be used. If 1, indexes are ignored and all recordsets are snapshot only. TraceSQIMode REG_DWORD 0 Specifies whether SQL statements sent to a data source by the ODBC driver should be logged to the me sqlout.txt. 0 for no, 1 for yes. TraceODBCAPI REG_DWORD 0 Species whether ODBC API calls generated by requests should be logged to the me odbcapi.txt. 0 for no, 1 for yes. DisableAsync REG_DWORD 1 Indicates whether to use synchronous queries at all times or to use asynchronous calls if possible. 0 to use asynchronous calls if possible, 1 for never to use them. TryJetAuth REG_DWORD 1 Indicates whether to try connecting to the ODBC data source using the current Jet user and password before prompting for other login. 0 for no, 1 for yes. Preparedlnsert REG_DWORD 0 Indicates whether to use an INSERT statement that includes all fields in the table for the updated record or only those fields that were updated. 0 for only affected columns, 1 for all. PreparedUpdate REG_DWORD 0 Same as Preparedlnsert, but for UPDATE instead. FastRequery REG_DWORD 0 Specifies whether to use prepared SELECT statements for parameterized queries and allow the statement to be reused without having to be reprepared each time. 0 for no, lforyes. 324
