The Perl driver currently supports string, numeric, and date and time datatypes.
String types |
Numeric types |
Date and time datatypes |
|---|---|---|
char varchar binary varbinary text image unichar univarchar |
integer smallint tinyint money smallmoney float real double numeric decimal bit bigint |
datetime date time bigtime bigdatetime |
Perl returns numeric and decimal types as strings. Other
datatypes are returned in their respective formats.
The default time/date format used by the Sybase ASE driver is the short format, for example, Aug 7 2011 03:05PM.
This format is based on the C (default) locale. See “Default date conversion and display format” for other date and time formats supported.
