Integer Field Type

  • Article

For non-decimal numeric values where performance and table storage limitations are especially important, use the Integer field type.

In tables, the integer field type is stored as a 4-byte binary value, consequently it requires less memory than other numeric data types. As a binary value, it requires no ASCII conversion. For specifications about the Integer field type, see Visual FoxPro Data and Field Types.
