# Data type examples


The following table shows example literals for DML data types.


****  

| Data type | Examples | 
| --- | --- | 
| BOOLEAN |  `true` `false `  | 
| TINYINT |  `TINYINT '123'`  | 
| SMALLINT |  `SMALLINT '123'`  | 
| INT, INTEGER |  `123456790`  | 
| BIGINT |  `BIGINT '1234567890'` `2147483648`  | 
| REAL |  `'123456.78'`  | 
| DOUBLE |  `1.234`  | 
| DECIMAL(precision, scale) |  `DECIMAL '123.456'`  | 
| CHAR, CHAR(length) |  `CHAR 'hello world'`, `CHAR 'hello ''world''!'`  | 
| VARCHAR, VARCHAR(length) |  `VARCHAR 'hello world'`, `VARCHAR 'hello ''world''!'`  | 
| VARBINARY |  `X'00 01 02'`  | 
| TIME, TIME(precision) |  `TIME '10:11:12'`, `TIME '10:11:12.345'`  | 
| TIME WITH TIME ZONE |  `TIME '10:11:12.345 -06:00'`  | 
| DATE |  `DATE '2024-03-25'`  | 
|  TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP(*precision*), TIMESTAMP(*precision*) WITHOUT TIME ZONE   |  `TIMESTAMP '2024-03-25 11:12:13'`, `TIMESTAMP '2024-03-25 11:12:13.456'`  | 
| TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP(precision) WITH TIME ZONE |  `TIMESTAMP '2024-03-25 11:12:13.456 Europe/Berlin'`  | 
| INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH |  `INTERVAL '3' MONTH`  | 
| INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND |  `INTERVAL '2' DAY`  | 
| ARRAY[element\$1type] |  `ARRAY['one', 'two', 'three']`  | 
| MAP(key\$1type, value\$1type) |  `MAP(ARRAY['one', 'two', 'three'], ARRAY[1, 2, 3])` Note that maps are created from an array of keys and an array of values. The following example creates a table that maps strings to integers. <pre>CREATE TABLE map_table(col1 map<string, integer>) LOCATION '...';<br />INSERT INTO map_table values(MAP(ARRAY['foo', 'bar'], ARRAY[1, 2]));</pre>  | 
| ROW(field\$1name\$11 field\$1type\$11, field\$1name\$12 field\$1type\$12, …) |  `ROW('one', 'two', 'three')` Note that rows created this way have no column names. To add column names, you can use `CAST`, as in the following example: <pre>CAST(ROW(1, 2, 3) AS ROW(one INT, two INT, three INT))</pre>  | 
| JSON |  `JSON '{"one":1, "two": 2, "three": 3}'`  | 
| UUID |  `UUID '12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890abcdef'`  | 
| IPADDRESS |  `IPADDRESS '10.0.0.1'` `IPADDRESS '2001:db8::1'`  |
