In DBMS, SQL data types define the kind of value that can be
stored in a table column. Each column must be declared with an
appropriate data type. The main categories are:

1. Numeric Data Types:


- INT / INTEGER: Whole numbers (e.g., 100, -5)
- SMALLINT / BIGINT: For smaller or larger integers
- DECIMAL(p,s) / NUMERIC(p,s): Fixed-point numbers
- FLOAT / REAL / DOUBLE: Decimal numbers (approximate)

2. Character/String Data Types:


- CHAR(n): Fixed-length text
- VARCHAR(n): Variable-length text
- TEXT: Long text like paragraphs

3. Date and Time Data Types:


- DATE: Stores date (YYYY-MM-DD)
- TIME: Stores time (HH:MM:SS)
- DATETIME / TIMESTAMP: Stores date and time together

4. Boolean Data Type:
