Hi Mark. You are pedantically correct but...
ALL storage in ALL modern computers is in binary. When we declare a field as integer, char, octet, etc we are specifying two things: how it is presented and what manipulation we can do on it. To say an octet is in hex is no more wrong than to say some number is stored as a float. It's all just a bucket of bits. Hex or float or Integer are always presentation R~~ On Sat, 4 Aug 2018, 13:12 Mark Rotteveel m...@lawinegevaar.nl [firebird-support], presented <firebird-support@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > You are confusing presentation in your query tool with storage within > Firebird.
