About data types and column sizes
Data types define the data value allowed for each column. For example,
if you want to include only names in a column, you can assign a character
data type to the column. Similarly, if you want a column to contain only
numbers, you can assign a numeric data type. For more information about
specific data types, see Data
types in Microsoft Access and Data
types in Microsoft SQL Server.
