Data Types Presentation

The document provides an overview of three data types: CHAR, VARCHAR, and INT. CHAR is a fixed-length character type that occupies a specified number of bytes, while VARCHAR is a variable-length type that uses space based on the actual string length. INT is an integer type used for whole numbers, occupying 4 bytes of storage.

Data Types Overview

CHAR, VARCHAR, and INT


CHAR Data Type
• - Fixed-length character data type.
• - Stores alphanumeric characters.
• - Occupies the specified number of bytes
regardless of the actual string length.
• - Example:
• CHAR(5): 'Hi' will be stored as 'Hi '.
VARCHAR Data Type
• - Variable-length character data type.
• - Stores alphanumeric characters.
• - Occupies space based on the actual string
length plus 1-2 bytes for length information.
• - Example:
• VARCHAR(5): 'Hi' will be stored as 'Hi'.
INT Data Type
• - Integer numeric data type.
• - Used to store whole numbers (positive,
negative, or zero).
• - Occupies 4 bytes of storage.
• - Example:
• INT: 42, -7, 0.
Comparison of Data Types
• - CHAR:
• - Fixed length, space-efficient for small fixed-
size strings.
• - VARCHAR:
• - Flexible, space-efficient for varying string
lengths.
• - INT:
• - Ideal for numeric data, efficient
calculations.
