mindapolis Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm setting up a database and I'm confused what to put for collation, attributes and nul Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245234-setting-up-a-database/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 It's impossible to answer that question. This all depends on a multitude of different requirements. For starters: What character sets do you require? How big/long do your varchars, ints, blobs etc. need to be? By 'nul', I'll assume null, which depends if you want to accept null as a value (or lack thereof). What type of information are you storing?

mindapolis Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 The database will hold information like first name last name address etc. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/245234-setting-up-a-database/#findComment-1259592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy_Funster Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The database will hold information like first name last name address etc. That's not enough information. We'll need a full list of fields and estimated lengths. General usage information wouldn't go amiss either.
