Appendix A. Data Types
When a table is created using the CREATE TABLE
statement, every column in a table must be declared as one of the data types
supported by MySQL. A column in a table can be added or changed using the
ALTER TABLE statement. Data types can be organized in
three basic groups: numeric, date and time, and string. This appendix
provides a listing of data types along with their limitations.
