Note:  'x' represents the lesser of the maximum configured row size and 32,000.
Note:  All character data types are fully supported in non‑Ingres databases accessed through Enterprise Access products, in which case the column size limit can be greater than 2000 bytes. Other data types may not be supported by all Enterprise Access products.
If your computer supports the IEEE standard for floating point numbers, the range and accuracy of floating point numbers reflect that standard.
