disable numerics

Disable support for numeric and identity data types.

USYS$SYB_PARAMS = disable numerics

Description

This option provides a simple migration path from SYB U2 databases that have numerics disabled.

Note:  Before using this option, ensure that SYB stored procedures are installed for the current version of Sybase.

When this option is enabled, the SYB connector does not support numeric or identity data types, and tables created on the fly or by scripts generated with the Create Table facility do not support the numeric data type.
