The value in the parentheses is used to display only the width and sets the zerofill. The width is 5 for int(5), whereas 10 for int(10). Let us see another example with a different width value set for int.
Let us first create a table. Here, we have set the int to int(11) and int(13). The following is the query to create a table −
mysql> create table intVsIntAnyThingDemo −> ( −> Number1 int(11) unsigned zerofill, −> Number int(13) unsigned zerofill −> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.17 sec)
Now you can insert record in the table with the help of insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into intVsIntAnyThingDemo values(12345,6789); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.44 sec) mysql> insert into intVsIntAnyThingDemo values(3,2); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into intVsIntAnyThingDemo values(12,89); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into intVsIntAnyThingDemo values(123,6789); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec) mysql> insert into intVsIntAnyThingDemo values(1234,6789); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
Display all records with the help of select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from intVsIntAnyThingDemo;
The following is the output displaying zero fill for the total width set for int −
+-------------+---------------+ | Number1 | Number | +-------------+---------------+ | 00000012345 | 0000000006789 | | 00000000003 | 0000000000002 | | 00000000012 | 0000000000089 | | 00000000123 | 0000000006789 | | 00000001234 | 0000000006789 | +-------------+---------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
