can you store them as varchar and convert them on the fly? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Tangorre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 10:25 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: numbers too big
I have some really large number ranges that I need to store in a SQL Server 2K DB. The numbers are of the following size: range start 000000000000000000000000000000 range end 999999999999999999999999999999 That was one generic example. Basically the number represents a phone number range and I have a range for each country in the world that has telephone service. What would be the best way to store it these ranges so that I can run a query that says, select country name where #phoneNumber# is within the range. I tried inporting the values in as bigints.. no dice, by the way this info is coming in from an excel sheet.
