I don't think that you can create a genuine one byte datatype.
The resulting type would probably be four bytes long, even if
you create a one byte by-value data type. The one byte would
be packaged in a 4 byte container for passing around the server.
Can anyone confirm or deny this? This was certainly the
case in Informix and Illustra.
