When you issue a CREATE TABLE statement, Adaptive Server Anywhere automatically converts the data types to the corresponding Microsoft SQL Server data types. The following table describes the Adaptive Server Anywhere to Microsoft SQL Server data type conversions.

|---|---|
| bit | bit |
| tinyint | tinyint |
| smallint | smallint |
| int | int |
| bigint | numeric(20,0) |
| decimal [defaults p=30, s=6] | decimal(prec, scale) |
| numeric [defaults p=30 s=6] | numeric(prec, scale) |
| float | if (prec) float(prec) else float |
| real | real |
| smallmoney | smallmoney |
| money | money |
| date | datetime |
| time | datetime |
| timestamp | datetime |
| smalldatetime | datetime |
| datetime | datetime |
| char(n) | if (length > 255) text else varchar(length) |
| character(n) | char(n) |
| varchar(n) | if (length > 255) text else varchar(length) |
| long varchar | text |
| binary(n) | if (length > 255) image else binary(length) |
| long binary | image |
| double | float |
| uniqueidentifierstr | uniqueidentifier |
The SQL Server uniqueidentifier columns is mapped to an Adaptive Server Anywhere uniqueidentifierstr column. The resulting string can be converted to a binary UUID value using the STRTOUUID function. See STRTOUUID function [STRING].
