字符型數據

字符型數據可以使用定長或變長的字符串來實現，其不同點在于固定長度的字符串使用空格向右填充，以保證占用同樣的字節數;變長字符串不需要向右填充，并且所有字節數可變。

char定長型，字節長度固定，最大長度為255字節，可以使用char（20）這種方式限定長度，查詢速度快，但不靈活

varchar變長型，字節長度隨數據量變化，最多可存儲65535字節，varchar（20）可以限定長度，查詢速度不及char，但使用靈活

如果需要存儲文本或者文檔，需要使用text類型數據，包括四種

tinytext255字節

text65535字節

mediumtext16777215字節

longtext4294967295字節

以上三種在進行分組排序或者比較的時候只采用前1024字節進行比較

字符集

對于拉丁語系，比如英語，其中每個字母只需要1個字節來存儲;而其他一些語言，比如中文，包含了大量字符，每個字符的存儲需要多個字節，因此這類字符集被稱為多字符集

在mysql中，可以使用SHOW CAHRACTER SET語句查看字符集

復制代碼 代碼如下:

數值型數據可以定義為unsigned，對整數而已可以改變其范圍，對浮點數而言可以限定其不能為負數
