types - MySQL char vs. int -
i'm having discussion in class datatypes char
, int
in mysql. have phone number of 8 individual numbers. however, can't find pros , cons each of them.
should use char
type or int
type, , why?
if have fixed size can use char(8)
-> 8b , mysql works faster fixed size fields, if chose int
-> 4b save space , if have index on field work faster char.
you can simple benchmark test speed of writes , reads using char(8) , int
there no point in using variable length type varchar or varbinary if have fixed size because performance decrease
