ADO.NET 2.0 通过 DataSet 命名空间引入了对 System.Data.SqlTypes 的增强类型支持。 
              System.Data.SqlTypes 中的类型旨在提供具有与 SQL Server 数据库中的数据类型相同的语义和精度的数据类型。 
              System.Data.SqlTypes 中的每个数据类型在 SQL Server 中都具有等效的数据类型,并具有相同的基础数据表示形式。
使用 SQL Server 数据类型时,直接在 System.Data.SqlTypes 中使用 DataSet 将带来许多好处。 System.Data.SqlTypes 支持与 SQL Server 本机数据类型相同的语义。 在 System.Data.SqlTypes 的定义中指定其中一个 DataColumn 将消除将十进制或数值数据类型转换为公共语言运行时 (CLR) 数据类型之一时可能出现的精度损失。
示例:
以下代码创建 DataTable 对象,使用 DataColumn(而不是 CLR 类型)显式定义 System.Data.SqlTypes 数据类型。 代码用 SQL Server 中 AdventureWorks 数据库的 Sales.SalesOrderDetail 表中的数据填充 DataTable。 控制台窗口中显示的输出显示每个列的数据类型以及从 SQL Server 检索的值。
