Selecting the Appropriate Field Type for Your Data
The data type you select for each field can greatly affect the performance and functionality of your application. Several factors can influence your choice of data type for each field in your table:
The type of data that’s stored in the field Whether the field’s contents need to be included in calculations Whether you need to sort the data in the field The way you want to sort the data in the field How important storage space is to you
The type of data you need to store in a field has the biggest influence on which data type you select. For example, if you need to store numbers beginning with leading zeros, you can’t select a Number field because Access ignores leading zeros entered into a Number field. This rule affects data such as ZIP codes (some begin with leading zeros) and department codes.
If the contents of a field need to be included in calculations, you must select a Number or Currency data type. You can’t perform calculations on the contents of fields defined with the other data types. The only exception to this rule is the Date field, which can be included in date/time calculations.
You also must consider whether you will sort or index the data in a field. You cannot sort by OLE, Attachment, and Hyperlink fields, so don’t select these field types if you must sort or index the data in the field. Furthermore, you must think about the way you want to sort the data. For example, in a Text field, Access would sort a set of numbers in the order of their left most character, then the second character from the left, and so on (that is, 1, 10, 100, 2, 20, 200) because Access sorts data in the Text field in a standard ASCII sequence. On the other hand, Access would sort the numbers in a Number or Currency field in ascending value order (that is, 1, 2, 10, 20, 100, 200). You might think you would never want data sorted in a standard ASCII sequence, but sometimes it makes sense to sort certain information, such as department codes, in this fashion. Access 2007 enables you to sort or group based on a Memo field, but it performs the sorting or grouping based only on the first 255 characters. Finally, you should consider how important disk space is to you. Each field type takes up a different amount of storage space on your hard disk, which could be a factor when you’re selecting a data type for a field.
Ten field types are available in Access: Text, Memo, Number, Date/Time, Currency, AutoNumber, Yes/No, OLE Object, Attachment, and Hyperlink. Table 2.1 summarizes the appropriate uses for each field type and the amount of storage space each type needs.
The most difficult part of selecting a field type is in knowing which type is best in each situation. The following detailed descriptions of each field type and when you should use them should help you with this process.
