Hi,

I need to add a couple of columns to a table (in SQL Server).
One column will hold a year (e.g. 2024, 2025, and so on). So naturally, numeric(4,0) would do. But, thinking about SQL Server new versions, do new MS SQL Server versions still have Numeric type? If not, would it be better to have the type as Integer?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
