INT (4o: +- 2 000 000 000)
BIGINT (8o: +-9.10^18)

Precise interval: -(2^(8*N-1)) -> (2^8*N)-1

⚠ INT(2) = “2 digits displayed” – NOT “number with 2 digits max”

FLOAT(M,D)
DOUBLE(M,D)
FLOAT(D=0->53)

TEXT (multi-lines; max size=65535)
BLOB (binary; max size=65535)

Variants for TEXT&BLOB: TINY (max=255), MEDIUM (max=~16000), and LONG


(max=4Go). Ex: VARCHAR(32), TINYTEXT, LONGBLOB, MEDIUMTEXT

ENUM ('value1', 'value2', ...) -- (default NULL, or '' if NOT NULL)
