Sybase和SQL Server在这一点上有所不同，如果条件比较中的数据类型不匹配的话，可能会引起索引失效，导致潜在的Performance问题。
简单说明如下：
插入一些数据后，我们可以测试如下：
1> set showplan on
2> go
1> declare @var_int int
2> select @var_int=2
3> select * from Test where c1=@var_int
4> go
QUERY PLAN FOR STATEMENT 1 (at line 1).
STEP 1
The type of query is DECLARE.
QUERY PLAN FOR STATEMENT 2 (at line 2).
STEP 1
The type of query is SELECT.
QUERY PLAN FOR STATEMENT 3 (at line 3).
STEP 1
The type of query is SELECT.
FROM TABLE
Test
Nested iteration.
Using Clustered Index.
Index : PK_Test
Forward scan.
Positioning by key.
Keys are:
c1 ASC
Using I/O Size 2 Kbytes for data pages.
With LRU Buffer Replacement Strategy for data pages.

我们看到，sybase的执行计划会使用clustered index来读取数据。
下面，采用money类型来进行测试
1> declare @var_money money
2> select @var_money=2
3> select * from Test where c1=@var_money
4> go
QUERY PLAN FOR STATEMENT 1 (at line 1).
STEP 1
The type of query is DECLARE.
QUERY PLAN FOR STATEMENT 2 (at line 2).
STEP 1
The type of query is SELECT.
QUERY PLAN FOR STATEMENT 3 (at line 3).
STEP 1
The type of query is SELECT.
FROM TABLE
Test
Nested iteration.
Table Scan.
Forward scan.
Positioning at start of table.
Using I/O Size 2 Kbytes for data pages.
With LRU Buffer Replacement Strategy for data pages.

c1 c2 c3

我们可以看到，sybase没有采用索引，而是采用了全表扫描。
实际上，Sybase并不是类型不一致就一定不会使用索引，而是有一个匹配原则，原则上是只要索引列的类型优先级高于搜索条件的数据类型，就会使用索引。
这个优先级，可以通过查询系统表master.dbo.systypes.
1> select hierarchy,name from master.dbo.systypes
2> order by 1
3> go
hierarchy name
