Hi Jeff:
ASE driver updates over SYC (AFAIK):
1) Yes, larger entity names - but, actually now up to 256 characters.
2) BIGTIME: Includes the hour, minute, second, and fraction of a second. The fraction is stored to six decimal places.
3) BIGDATETIME: Includes the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and fraction of a second. The fraction is stored to six decimal places.
HTH
