How Dataverse SQL differs from Transact-SQL

  • Стаття

This article describes the differences between Dataverse SQL and Transact-SQL. Dataverse SQL is a subset of Transact-SQL.

Data types

In an SQL database, each column, local variable, expression, and parameter has a related data type. A data type is an attribute that specifies the type of data that the object can hold: integer data, character data, monetary data, date and time data, binary strings, and so on.
