Notes:

Storage will be # of characters or bytes, plus byte(s) to record length. These String data types are NOT case sensitive, unless given the "binary"

attribute or have a case-sensitive CHARACTER SET collation. "E" is an abbreviation for "exponent". E18 means move the decimal over 18 places (search "scientific notation"). SERIAL DEFAULT VALUE attribute is an alias for "AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL UNIQUE". SERIAL data type is a synonym for "BIGINT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL UNIQUE". BOOL and BOOLEAN data types are synonyms for TINYINT(1). REAL[(M,D)] and DOUBLE PRECISION[(M,D)] datatypes are synonyms for DOUBLE[(M,D)]. REAL_AS_FLOAT system variable can make REAL[(M,D)] a synonym for FLOAT[(M,D)]. "UNSIGNED ZEROFILL" attributes: ZEROFILL means if you specify an M value for an integer, it will be padded with zeros to fill up the M spaces. Ex: M=6, integer=247, display="000247". UNSIGNED means no negative values and often expands your range. Corresponding non-binary and binary string types: o CHAR vs. BINARY o VARCHAR vs. VARBINARY o TEXT vs. BLOB
