Regarding ASCII data type

[srs_grp]

Does SQL support ASCII data type?Or we need to do some type casting for it.?

not really sure what you are meaning

all characters will have an int value, and you can translate the int value back to a char

you can use ascii(char)
or
char(ascii)

select ascii('q')
-- returns 113

select char(113)
-- returns 'q'

Actually for r project, we need to store fields having data type as ASCII characters and we are not getting how to do it?
