This tutorial will help you to understand about “MYSQL Numeric Data Types”.
Storage Required For Numeic Types
Data Type | Storage Required |
---|---|
TINY INT | 1 byte |
SMALL INT | 2 bytes |
MEDIUM INT | 3 bytes |
INT INTEGER | 4 bytes |
BIGINT | 8 bytes |
FLOAT(p) | 4 bytes |
DOUBLE[PRECISION], REAL | 8 bytes |
DECIMAL(M,D), NUMERIC(M,D) | Various see the below details |
BIT(M) | approximately(M+7)/ 8 bytes |
Values for decimal, numeric,
- Storage for the integer and fractional parts of each value are determined separately.
- Each multiple of nine digits requires four bytes and “leftover” digits require some fraction of four bytes. The storage required for excess digits is given by the following table.
Leftover Digits | Number Of Bytes |
---|---|
0 | 0 |
1 | 1 |
2 | 1 |
3 | 2 |
4 | 2 |
5 | 3 |
6 | 3 |
7 | 4 |
