Main data types

TINYINT (1o: -127+128) SMALLINT (2o: +-65 000) MEDIUMINT (3o: +-16 000 000) INT (4o: +- 2 000 000 000) BIGINT (8o: +-9.10^18) Precise interval: -(2^(8*N-1)) -> (2^8*N)-1 /!\ INT(2) = "2 digits displayed" -- NOT "number with 2 digits max" INT NOT NULL auto_increment PRIMARY KEY -- auto-counter for PK FLOAT(M,D) DOUBLE(M,D) FLOAT(D=0->53) /!\ 8,3 -> 12345,678 -- NOT 12345678,123!
TIME (HH:MM) YEAR (AAAA) DATE (AAAA-MM-JJ) DATETIME (AAAA-MM-JJ HH:MM; annes 1000->9999) TIMESTAMP (like DATETIME, but 1970->2038, compatible with Unix)

MySQL/CheatSheet
VARCHAR (single-line; explicit size) TEXT (multi-lines; max size=65535) BLOB (binary; max size=65535)

Variants for TEXT&BLOB: TINY (max=255) MEDIUM (max=~16000) LONG (max=4Go) Ex: VARCHAR(32), TINYTEXT, LONGBLOB, MEDIUMTEXT

ENUM ('value1', 'value2', ...) -- (default NULL, or '' if NOT NULL)

Forgot root password?

$ /etc/init.d/mysql stop $ mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables & $ mysql # on another terminal mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET password=PASSWORD('nouveau') WHERE user='root'; ## Kill mysqld_safe from the terminal, using Control + \ $ /etc/init.d/mysql start

Repair tables after unclean shutdown

mysqlcheck --all-databases mysqlcheck --all-databases --fast

load data from local file

If you are running mysql and using your newly created database use the below code to run the script file mysql> SOURCE input_file from terminal mysql -u root -p database < filename-20120201.tbz
