Hi, I have several simple questions regarding creating tables in the MySQL.
1. For a variable of Java primitive int type, I should use INT or INTEGER? Do I have to specify the length of the field? CREATE TABLE message_thread( thread_id INT or INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY); 2. A field in my table is for storing articles. Articles could be very long in variable length. I should use VARCHAR or TEXT? What about the length of the field? 3. For a variable of the Timestamp type, do I specify CREATE TABLE message_thread( thread_creation_date TIMESTAMP NOT NULL ); What about the length of the field? Thanks for your advices in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Find out what made the Top Yahoo!
