User's Guide Part VI. SQL Anywhere Reference Chapter 41. SQL Anywhere Data TypesFor storing binary data, including images and other information that is not interpreted by the database.
Binary data types:
BINARY[ ( max-length ) ]
| LONG BINARY
BINARY [(max-length)] Binary data of maximum length size (in bytes). If size is omitted, the default is 1. The maximum size allowed is 32,767. The BINARY data type is identical to the CHAR data type except when used in comparisons. BINARY values will be compared exactly while CHAR values are compared without respect to upper/lowercase (depending on the case-sensitivity of the database) or accented characters.
LONG BINARY Arbitrary length binary data. The maximum size is limited by the maximum size of the database file (currently 2 gigabytes).
