Notes:
Based on MySQL version 5.0.
1 Storage will be # of characters or bytes, plus byte(s) to record length.
2 These String data types are NOT case sensitive, unless given the "binary" attribute
or have a case-sensitive CHARACTER SET collation.
"E" is an abbreviation for "exponent". E18 means move the decimal over 18 places
(search "scientific notation").
SERIAL DEFAULT VALUE attribute is an alias for "AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL
UNIQUE".
SERIAL data type is a synonym for "BIGINT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL
UNIQUE".
BOOL and BOOLEAN data types are synonyms for TINYINT(1).
REAL[(M,D)] and DOUBLE PRECISION[(M,D)] datatypes are synonyms for
DOUBLE[(M,D)].
REAL_AS_FLOAT system variable can make REAL[(M,D)] a synonym for
FLOAT[(M,D)].
"UNSIGNED ZEROFILL" attributes: ZEROFILL means if you specify an M value for an
integer, it will be padded with zeros to fill up the M spaces. Ex: M=6, integer=247,
display="000247". UNSIGNED means no negative values and often expands your
range.
Corresponding non-binary and binary string types:
CHAR vs. BINARY
VARCHAR vs. VARBINARY
TEXT vs. BLOB
