Physical size of integer

If I understand the doc correctly, if I create a field in a table with
the data type of "Integer" it will really be Number(38).



In terms of physical disk storage, this field won't take up thirty
something bytes, right?



I am used to Visual FoxPro where Integer is a data type taking 4 bytes
of storage.
