I am coming from Microsoft SQL Server 2005. This may have been discussed before but I have not been able to find it. In SQL Server you are able to define a user-defined type like this: CREATE TYPE [dbo].[status] FROM INT NOT NULL This will allow you to then define columns like this: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tableName] ( [statusColumn] [dbo].[status] ) Is there such a thing in MySQL?
