What is the best way to make a coloumn that has more than 4byte length?

should i take a Double or something else?
 
Hi

What do you want to use it for?

The heading of your post implies you want to use it as an Id (like an autonumber), in which a GUID type (I think is stands for Global Unique Identifier) as used in replication sets may do the trick

If it is to be a number with arithmetic performed on it, consider double or maybe currency
