AFAIK 112,249 is not an integer. It is a string.
If you need to have the
commas, you need to store it as a string.
I haven't got to strings yet. The table I'm making is
for display purposes, so I want visitors to be able to
see 10,212, rather than 10212. I'm also going to make
JavaScript sortable columns.
So do I need to store it as a string if I want to
display columns? Or would I simply use some other
function to insert commas for display purposes?
Insertion and display are two different issues.
To insert a number, no commas are allowed.
To display a number with commas, you can use the
FORMAT() function:
