The following simple data types are supported in the Langstack applications. These are ordered in an ascending (smallest to largest) manner as per their data size:
| Data Type | Used for | Example |
|---|---|---|
Boolean
Representing Logical Values
TRUE, FALSE
Character
A Single letter or a sign
A or Z
Integer
Whole number ranging between -263 and 263-1. This means the minimum value can be -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 and the maximum value can be 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
7 or 12 or 999
Numerical
Number and decimal value ranging between 4.9e-324 to 1.8e+308
3.1415926
Timestamp
Timestamp is a date and time representation that is stored as a number in an Epoch form. This enables it to be used in calculation easily and yet displays its value in the form "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss"
1970-01-01 00:00:01' UTC to '2038-01-19 03:14:07' UTC
DateTime
Contains both date and time parts along with the time zone. DateTime can read string values in the defined formats. In case the string data has a missing value for day, the code returned will be ‘1’. For example, the date “2022-04” will be returned as “2022-04-01 00:00:00”. In case the string data has a missing value for any element in the time, the code returned will be ‘0’. For example, the date “2022-04-15” will be returned as “2022-04-15 00:00:00”.
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss e.g. 2022-04-01 00:00:00 YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss e.g. 2022-04-01T00:00:00
