Description

An important part of learning any database is understanding the data types it supports. In this lesson, we cover what Microsoft SQL Server has to offer when it comes to storing different types of data. We cover major types that store text, dates, numbers and also look briefly at specialty types such as XML, geometric, geographic and heirarchical types, as well as conversion functions like CAST and CONVERT.
