Language basics / Data types |
The INTEGER data type is used for storing large whole numbers.
INTEGER
The storage of INTEGER variables is based on 4 bytes of signed data ( = 32 bits ).
The value range is from -2,147,483,647 to +2,147,483,647.
When assigning a whole number that exceeds the INTEGER range, the overflow error -1215 will be raised.
INTEGER variables are initialized to zero in functions, modules and globals.
The INTEGER type can be used to define variables storing values from SERIAL columns.
