how to manage 16 digit number

is there any datatye that can accept 16 digit number

bit type is stored in 1 bit,

tinyint in 1byte,

smallint in 2 byte,(16bit ,I guess this is what you want)

int in 4 byte,

bigint in 8 byte

sorry it is not 16 bit number it is 16 digit number like 1234567891234567

|||See the BOL for BIGINT:

bigint

-2^63 (-9,223,372,036,854,775,808) to 2^63-1 (9,223,372,036,854,775,807)

8 Bytes
