char(length): Sybase DBMS fixed length character string. Used for all LeasePak string columns, except the info_s columns in the Notebook tables. length denotes the maximum number of characters the string can contain.

datetime: Sybase DBMS date and time. Contains century, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and second fraction (accurate to 1/300 second) information. If a column has a datetime datatype and the column name begins with 'd_', LeasePak uses only the date portion (century, year, month, day); it does not use time portion (hour, minute, second, second fraction). If a column has a datetime datatype and the column name begins with 'dt_', LeasePak uses both the date and time portions.

double precision: Sybase DBMS floating-point number. Used to store percentages, rates, and dollar amounts.

timestamp: Sybase DBMS binary timestamp. Whenever a table includes a timestamp column, Sybase automatically updates the binary time information in the timestamp column each time a user inserts or updates a record. LeasePak uses the timestamp information to prevent corruption when multiple users attempt to update the same record simultaneously.
