Table 1. String Representations of the Basic Server Types
Type	String Representation
SVR_CHAR	The first character in the string is accepted as the character value.
SVR_INT8	A number in the range of -128 to 127, for example, -100, or 78.
SVR_INT16	A number in the range of -32768 to 32767, for example, 25601.
SVR_INT32	A number in the range of -2147483648 to 2147483647, for example, 40101.
SVR_INT64	A number in the range of -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807, for example 3456789012.
SVR_FLOAT	A single precision floating point number. The maximum positive value is 3.402823466e+38 and the minimum positive value is 1.175494351e-38. For negative values, the magnitudes are the same. The numbers can be expressed in exponential form, -3.78123e3 or as a decimal -3781.23.
SVR_DOUBLE	A double precision floating point number. The maximum positive value is 1.7976931348623158e+308 and the minimum positive value is 2.2250738585072014e-308. For negative values, the magnitudes are the same. The numbers can be expressed in exponential or decimal form.
SVR_STRING	As is.
SVR_DATETIME	A date in ISO 8601:1988 format yyyymmddThhMMss. For example, 6:49:02pm on December 9, 1999, would be represented as 19991209T184902.
SVR_DATE	A date in ISO8601:1988 format yyyymmdd. For example, the previous date would be represented as 19991209.
SVR_MONEY	Same as for SVR::Double.
SVR_BOOLEAN	One of `true` or `false`. The value is case insensitive.
