Description
Product: Tarantool
Since: 3.1
Root document: https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/concepts/data_model/value_store/#field-type-details
Fixed-size field types
Tarantool supports the following fixed-size numeric field types:
uint8: integer in range [0 .. 255]int8: integer in range [-128 .. 127]uint16: integer in range [0 .. 65,535]int16: integer in range [-32,768 .. 32,767]uint32: integer in range [0 .. 4,294,967,295]int32: integer in range [-2,147,483,648 .. 2,147,483,647]uint64: integer in range [0 .. 18,446,744,073,709,551,615]int64: integer in range [-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 ..
9,223,372,036,854,775,807]float32: 32-bit floating point numberfloat64: 64-bit floating point number
These types don't affect how data is stored in Tarantool's memtx or vinyl
engines but they enforce the limits when a tuple is inserted or updated.
