Hello CP,

Can anyone help me out on what datatype should I use to perform operations on values of greater than 38 digits. Tried different datatypes,google & logic to split store them but all in vain.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

it's beyond SQL capacity and you will have
"Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type bigint."

I have try tis only with 19 digits

SQL

declare @bigint1 bigint = 9223372036854775807;
select @bigint1 * @bigint1
