Treatment of SMALLINT in Java Program

Question posted by: Mark A (Guest) on July 22nd, 2008 05:55 PM

Does a java program treat a DB2 column defined as SMALLINT any different
than INT?

In other words, if I changed a column from INT to SMALLINT, would that
require any java coding change?

While IBM recommends that you map INT to int and SMALLINT to short
(http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/d...cle/dm-0510law/
index.html), as long as your Java data type remains the larger of the
two--namely, int--then there should be no issue with such a change.
