So why is that SQL Server integer definition is:

integer or int
Has a length of 4 bytes, and stores numbers from -2,147,483,648 through 2,147,483,647.


>>Should an integer be -2147483648 To -2147483648 ? Is VFP Integer definition different from other languages ? An integer is a 32 bit value no?
>>
>>
>>>The integer field type can hold values in the range of -2147483647 to 2147483647. You're attempting to insert 2147483648 (2 ^ 31).

>Consider that there are 4,294,967,295 possible values (2 ^ 32 - 1). With a signed integer the range is exactly half for the positive and negative values minus one. IOW, doing integer division on 4,294,967,295 yields +/- 2,147,483,647. So where's value 4,294,967,295? It's zero.
