Sql numeric6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() It represents values comprising values of fields year, month, day, ![]() TimestampType: Timestamp with local time zone(TIMESTAMP_LTZ).DateType: Represents values comprising values of fields year, month and day, without a.BooleanType: Represents boolean values.BinaryType: Represents byte sequence values.Char type column comparison will pad the short one to the longer length. Reading column of type CharType(n) always returns string values of length n. CharType(length): A variant of VarcharType(length) which is fixed length.Note: this type can only be used in table schema, not functions/operators. Data writing will fail if the input string exceeds the length limitation. VarcharType(length): A variant of StringType which has a length limitation.StringType: Represents character string values.A BigDecimal consists of an arbitrary precision integer unscaled value and a 32-bit integer scale. DecimalType: Represents arbitrary-precision signed decimal numbers.DoubleType: Represents 8-byte double-precision floating point numbers.FloatType: Represents 4-byte single-precision floating point numbers.LongType: Represents 8-byte signed integer numbers.IntegerType: Represents 4-byte signed integer numbers.The range of numbers is from -32768 to 32767. ShortType: Represents 2-byte signed integer numbers.The range of numbers is from -128 to 127. ByteType: Represents 1-byte signed integer numbers.The following shows how to create a table with decimal columns.Spark SQL and DataFrames support the following data types: For Example Decimal(3,2), Decimal(5,2) & Decimal(9,2) will all use 5 bytes of disk space, although the Decimal(9,2) can store more numbers. The precision from 1 to 9 will require 5 bytes of disk space. The precision determines the storage size, that a decimal number takes in the disk. If you want to store number larger than that, you need to use the float data type Size in Bytes Hence in decimal(5,2), you can store from number -999.00 to 999.99. For Example in a Decimal(5,2) column the integer portion can contain only 3 digits (5-2). The maximum number of digits to the right of the decimal point (the integer part) is equal to the precision minus scale (p-s). ![]() The precision and scale determine the maximum limit that you can store in decimal data type. ![]() For Example, 123 will become 123.00 Maximum Limit If the number does not have a decimal position (like an integer number), then SQL Server will add implicitly. For Example, 123.456 is rounds to 123.46 in a decimal(5,2) column. If you try to insert a number, which has more decimal position than the column permits, SQL Server will round it off. For Example, the decimal(5,2) column will store the number in 2 decimal places. The scale defines the number of decimal digits that you can store. The SQL Server allows a minimum precision is 1 and maximum precision of 38. The number includes both integer & fractional parts.įor Example 123.45 has a precision of 5 as there is a 5 digits in that number. The Precision defines the maximum number of digits that you can store. One is (p) Precision & the other one is (s) scale p (precision) ![]()
