Hi gang,

Is there a datatype that means "one byte"? I'm importing a database from
SQL Server, and some of the rows there are of this type. When I convert
them to int2, I have discrepancies with the program that uses the
database (OLE DB uses binary mode transfers, so the size of the variable
is important beyond it's legal range).
