It is used to define numeric values with floating decimal point. From 1.17549351 to 3.402823466 REAL Real data can hold a value 4 bytes in size, meaning it has 7 digits of precision (the number of digits to the right of the decimal point). It's also a floating-point numeric that is identical to the floating point statement float(24). DOUBLE Not completely exact. Double-precision floating-point numeric value. You can edit the precision and scale. The scale must be less than or equal to the precision.
BIT The smallest unit of data in a computer. The bit stores just a 0 or 1. DATE Stores date in format YYYY-MM-DD
DATETIME Stores date and time information in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS TIMESTAMP Stores number of seconds passed since the Unix epoch TIME Stores time in the format HH:MI:SS YEAR Stores year in 2 digits or 4 digit format. Range 1901 to 2155 in 4-digit format. Range 70 to 69, representing 1970 to 2069.
CHAR Fixed length or total length are the same for the every single value(phone number). VARCHAR Max length->how much characters could be in cell.Variable-length storage with a maximum length of 8,000 characters
BINARY Fixed length with a maximum length of 8,000 bytes
VARBINARY Used to store raw binary data up to a length of (32K – 1) bytes. Value from 1 through 8,000. BLOB Has similar characteristics as Binary Large Object. It was used to store large quantities of binary data in a database. You can use it to store any kind of binary data that you want, includes images, video, or any other kind of binary data that you wish to store.Range:from 10 to 512 bytes. TEXT Variable-length storage with maximum size of 2GB data
ENUM 1 of many options. SET Allows pick many of many options. JSON It is a text-based format. It is commonly used for transmitting data in web applications ( e.g., sending some data from the server to the client, so it can be displayed on a web page, or vice versa ),for storing JSON data.
