Why is the default mapping of Short to TINYINT for MSSQL-server?

[Anonymous]

Hello,
Looking at "org.talend.core.runtime/mappings/mapping_MSSQL.xml" I see:

<talendType type="id_Short">
	<dbType type="TINYINT" default="true" />
	<dbType type="SMALLINT IDENTITY" />
	<dbType type="SMALLINT" />
	<dbType type="TINYINT IDENTITY" />
	<dbType type="BIGINT" />
	<dbType type="BIGINT IDENTITY" />
	<dbType type="INT" />
	<dbType type="INT IDENTITY" />
</talendType>

However Short is a two byte integer and TINYINT is one byte integer. Is there a special reason for this that I am not seeing or is this a bug?
