# Data type examples
<a name="data-types-examples"></a>

The following table shows example literals for DML data types.


****  

| Data type | Examples | 
| --- | --- | 
| BOOLEAN | `true`<br />`false ` | 
| TINYINT | `TINYINT '123'` | 
| SMALLINT | `SMALLINT '123'` | 
| INT, INTEGER | `123456790` | 
| BIGINT | `BIGINT '1234567890'`<br />`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\_type}}] | `ARRAY['one', 'two', 'three']` | 
| MAP({{key\_type}}, {{value\_type}}) | `MAP(ARRAY['one', 'two', 'three'], ARRAY[1, 2, 3])`<br />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\_name\_1}} {{field\_type\_1}}, {{field\_name\_2}} {{field\_type\_2}}, …) | `ROW('one', 'two', 'three')`<br />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'`<br />`IPADDRESS '2001:db8::1'` |
