Isn't it a bit useless to specify the visual, decimal length of a numeric data type that's internally stored in bits? I never specify a "length" of a number, but use SMALLINT, INT etc instead. If my INT field holds a value that takes 6 digits in decimal, what should be the output if the column was declared INT(3)? Is it allowed to drop some data?
