And also its documentation !! While reading through data types, it occurred to me that most ( if not every ) other data types has a chart on the top saying how many bytes it occuies. Like all numerical, date or char data types. For enum it would be nice to have that info as well. I am assuming it is variable ? May be 1 or 2 bytes for the definition and the rest depending on the enum values ? A clarification would be nice ! Thanks - Sumit Sengupta ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 3+ messages in thread

Johnston <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Thanks David. I overlooked that at the bottom. I guess it would still be nice to mention the storage at the top like other data types. ________________________________ From: David G.
