Re: SByte column types and question marked prefix...

Hi Reggie,

Thanks a lot for your replies...

The thing is that I developed a data access architecture that allows me to abstract my applications from the database type. I am now developing the MySql access part and noticed these two issues.

Your replies are valid and I'll have to adapt my code to them. The SByte one is a bit more painfull because my business tier will have to store TinyInts in Int32 so that it can store both Bytes and SBytes. The data tier will have to throw an exception if the value is out of bounds.

It's "painfull" because I like to have errors detected at compile time instead of runtime... :-(
