I am storing book isbn numbers in a table. isbn numbers are 10 digit numbers and many start with 0. The data type of the field I am storing this info in is a bigint(16) unsigned. It appears that isbns that start with 0 are going in as 9 digit numbers, the 0 is being ignored or stripped. I have experienced this before with integer data types ignoring leading 0s. I'm wondering how to address this? Should I change the field to a varchar or char data type?
Any advice is appreciated,
thanks, Eben
