shoz Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 This is the table of contents for the manual http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/ The subject you're interested in is called "data types". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artacus Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Well that was more informative than the response I was preparing... "You've got to be f'in kidding me! Shoz, can you read it for me and send me an MP3, some of the words are really long." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvle Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 do u have the link to the diff between text, char, etc ? The mysql site is quite hard to navigate. Sorry for the trouble. what you should do is download the entire mysql 5.1 manual into your computer. I recommend the .chm window help format if you are using window cuz it's easy to navigate. This page contains bunch of manual in different format. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
