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?

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.
