数据类型概述


11.1.1 数字类型概述

A summary of the numeric data types follows. For additional information about properties and storage requirements of the numeric types, see Section 11.2, “Numeric Types”, and Section 11.8, “Data Type Storage Requirements”.

M indicates the maximum display width for integer types. The maximum display width is 255. Display width is unrelated to the range of values a type can contain, as described in Section 11.2, “Numeric Types”. For floating-point and fixed-point types, M is the total number of digits that can be stored.

If you specify ZEROFILL for a numeric column, MySQL automatically adds the UNSIGNED attribute to the column.

Numeric data types that permit the UNSIGNED attribute also permit SIGNED. However, these data types are signed by default, so the SIGNED attribute has no effect.

SERIAL is an alias for BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT UNIQUE.

SERIAL DEFAULT VALUE in the definition of an integer column is an alias for NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT UNIQUE.

Warning

When you use subtraction between integer values where one is of type UNSIGNED, the result is unsigned unless the NO_UNSIGNED_SUBTRACTION SQL mode is enabled. See Section 12.10, “Cast Functions and Operators”.

  • BIT[(M)]A bit-value type. M indicates the number of bits per value, from 1 to 64. The default is 1 if M is omitted.
  • TINYINT[(M)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]A very small integer. The signed range is -128 to 127. The unsigned range is 0 to 255.
  • BOOL, BOOLEANThese types are synonyms for TINYINT(1). A value of zero is considered false. Nonzero values are considered true:
    mysql> SELECT IF(0, 'true', 'false');
    +------------------------+
    | IF(0, 'true', 'false') |
    +------------------------+
    | false                  |
    +------------------------+
    
    mysql> SELECT IF(1, 'true', 'false');
    +------------------------+
    | IF(1, 'true', 'false') |
    +------------------------+
    | true                   |
    +------------------------+
    
    mysql> SELECT IF(2, 'true', 'false');
    +------------------------+
    | IF(2, 'true', 'false') |
    +------------------------+
    | true                   |
    +------------------------+

    However, the values TRUE and FALSE are merely aliases for 1 and 0, respectively, as shown here:

    mysql> SELECT IF(0 = FALSE, 'true', 'false');
    +--------------------------------+
    | IF(0 = FALSE, 'true', 'false') |
    +--------------------------------+
    | true                           |
    +--------------------------------+
    
    mysql> SELECT IF(1 = TRUE, 'true', 'false');
    +-------------------------------+
    | IF(1 = TRUE, 'true', 'false') |
    +-------------------------------+
    | true                          |
    +-------------------------------+
    
    mysql> SELECT IF(2 = TRUE, 'true', 'false');
    +-------------------------------+
    | IF(2 = TRUE, 'true', 'false') |
    +-------------------------------+
    | false                         |
    +-------------------------------+
    
    mysql> SELECT IF(2 = FALSE, 'true', 'false');
    +--------------------------------+
    | IF(2 = FALSE, 'true', 'false') |
    +--------------------------------+
    | false                          |
    +--------------------------------+

    The last two statements display the results shown because 2 is equal to neither 1 nor 0.

  • SMALLINT[(M)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]A small integer. The signed range is -32768 to 32767. The unsigned range is 0 to 65535.
  • MEDIUMINT[(M)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]A medium-sized integer. The signed range is -8388608 to 8388607. The unsigned range is 0 to 16777215.
  • INT[(M)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]A normal-size integer. The signed range is -2147483648 to 2147483647. The unsigned range is 0 to 4294967295.
  • INTEGER[(M)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]This type is a synonym for INT.
  • BIGINT[(M)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]A large integer. The signed range is -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807. The unsigned range is 0 to 18446744073709551615.SERIAL is an alias for BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT UNIQUE.Some things you should be aware of with respect to BIGINT columns:
    • All arithmetic is done using signed BIGINT or DOUBLE values, so you should not use unsigned big integers larger than 9223372036854775807 (63 bits) except with bit functions! If you do that, some of the last digits in the result may be wrong because of rounding errors when converting a BIGINT value to a DOUBLE.MySQL can handle BIGINT in the following cases:
      • When using integers to store large unsigned values in a BIGINT column.
      • In MIN(col_name) or MAX(col_name), where col_name refers to a BIGINT column.
      • When using operators (+, -, *, and so on) where both operands are integers.
    • You can always store an exact integer value in a BIGINT column by storing it using a string. In this case, MySQL performs a string-to-number conversion that involves no intermediate double-precision representation.
    • The -, +, and * operators use BIGINT arithmetic when both operands are integer values. This means that if you multiply two big integers (or results from functions that return integers), you may get unexpected results when the result is larger than 9223372036854775807.
  • DECIMAL[(M[,D])] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]A packed exact fixed-point number. M is the total number of digits (the precision) and D is the number of digits after the decimal point (the scale). The decimal point and (for negative numbers) the - sign are not counted in M. If D is 0, values have no decimal point or fractional part. The maximum number of digits (M) for DECIMAL is 65. The maximum number of supported decimals (D) is 30. If D is omitted, the default is 0. If M is omitted, the default is 10.UNSIGNED, if specified, disallows negative values.All basic calculations (+, -, *, /) with DECIMAL columns are done with a precision of 65 digits.
  • DEC[(M[,D])] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL], NUMERIC[(M[,D])] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL], FIXED[(M[,D])] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]These types are synonyms for DECIMAL. The FIXED synonym is available for compatibility with other database systems.
  • FLOAT[(M,D)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]A small (single-precision) floating-point number. Permissible values are -3.402823466E+38 to -1.175494351E-38, 0, and 1.175494351E-38 to 3.402823466E+38. These are the theoretical limits, based on the IEEE standard. The actual range might be slightly smaller depending on your hardware or operating system.M is the total number of digits and D is the number of digits following the decimal point. If M and D are omitted, values are stored to the limits permitted by the hardware. A single-precision floating-point number is accurate to approximately 7 decimal places.UNSIGNED, if specified, disallows negative values.Using FLOAT might give you some unexpected problems because all calculations in MySQL are done with double precision. See Section B.5.4.7, “Solving Problems with No Matching Rows”.
  • DOUBLE[(M,D)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]A normal-size (double-precision) floating-point number. Permissible values are -1.7976931348623157E+308 to -2.2250738585072014E-308, 0, and2.2250738585072014E-308 to 1.7976931348623157E+308. These are the theoretical limits, based on the IEEE standard. The actual range might be slightly smaller depending on your hardware or operating system.M is the total number of digits and D is the number of digits following the decimal point. If M and D are omitted, values are stored to the limits permitted by the hardware. A double-precision floating-point number is accurate to approximately 15 decimal places.UNSIGNED, if specified, disallows negative values.
  • DOUBLE PRECISION[(M,D)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL], REAL[(M,D)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]These types are synonyms for DOUBLE. Exception: If the REAL_AS_FLOAT SQL mode is enabled, REAL is a synonym for FLOAT rather than DOUBLE.
  • FLOAT(p) [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]A floating-point number. p represents the precision in bits, but MySQL uses this value only to determine whether to use FLOAT or DOUBLE for the resulting data type. If p is from 0 to 24, the data type becomes FLOAT with no M or D values. If p is from 25 to 53, the data type becomes DOUBLE with no M or D values. The range of the resulting column is the same as for the single-precision FLOAT or double-precision DOUBLE data types described earlier in this section.FLOAT(p) syntax is provided for ODBC compatibility.

 

11.1.2 日期和时间类型概述

A summary of the temporal data types follows. For additional information about properties and storage requirements of the temporal types, see Section 11.3, “Date and Time Types”, and Section 11.8, “Data Type Storage Requirements”. For descriptions of functions that operate on temporal values, see Section 12.7, “Date and Time Functions”.

For the DATE and DATETIME range descriptions, “supported” means that although earlier values might work, there is no guarantee.

MySQL permits fractional seconds for TIME, DATETIME, and TIMESTAMP values, with up to microseconds (6 digits) precision. To define a column that includes a fractional seconds part, use the syntax type_name(fsp), where type_name is TIME, DATETIME, or TIMESTAMP, and fsp is the fractional seconds precision. For example:

CREATE TABLE t1 (t TIME(3), dt DATETIME(6));

The fsp value, if given, must be in the range 0 to 6. A value of 0 signifies that there is no fractional part. If omitted, the default precision is 0. (This differs from the standard SQL default of 6, for compatibility with previous MySQL versions.)

Any TIMESTAMP or DATETIME column in a table can have automatic initialization and updating properties.

  • DATEA date. The supported range is '1000-01-01' to '9999-12-31'. MySQL displays DATE values in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format, but permits assignment of values to DATEcolumns using either strings or numbers.
  • DATETIME[(fsp)]A date and time combination. The supported range is '1000-01-01 00:00:00.000000' to '9999-12-31 23:59:59.999999'. MySQL displays DATETIME values in'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS[.fraction]' format, but permits assignment of values to DATETIME columns using either strings or numbers.An optional fsp value in the range from 0 to 6 may be given to specify fractional seconds precision. A value of 0 signifies that there is no fractional part. If omitted, the default precision is 0.Automatic initialization and updating to the current date and time for DATETIME columns can be specified using DEFAULT and ON UPDATE column definition clauses, as described in Section 11.3.5, “Automatic Initialization and Updating for TIMESTAMP and DATETIME”.
  • TIMESTAMP[(fsp)]A timestamp. The range is '1970-01-01 00:00:01.000000' UTC to '2038-01-19 03:14:07.999999' UTC. TIMESTAMP values are stored as the number of seconds since the epoch ('1970-01-01 00:00:00' UTC). A TIMESTAMP cannot represent the value '1970-01-01 00:00:00' because that is equivalent to 0 seconds from the epoch and the value 0 is reserved for representing '0000-00-00 00:00:00', the “zero” TIMESTAMP value.An optional fsp value in the range from 0 to 6 may be given to specify fractional seconds precision. A value of 0 signifies that there is no fractional part. If omitted, the default precision is 0.The way the server handles TIMESTAMP definitions depends on the value of the explicit_defaults_for_timestamp system variable (see Section 5.1.5, “Server System Variables”).If explicit_defaults_for_timestamp is enabled, there is no automatic assignment of the DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP or ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMPattributes to any TIMESTAMP column. They must be included explicitly in the column definition. Also, any TIMESTAMP not explicitly declared as NOT NULL permits NULLvalues.

    If explicit_defaults_for_timestamp is disabled, the server handles TIMESTAMP as follows:

    Unless specified otherwise, the first TIMESTAMP column in a table is defined to be automatically set to the date and time of the most recent modification if not explicitly assigned a value. This makes TIMESTAMP useful for recording the timestamp of an INSERT or UPDATE operation. You can also set any TIMESTAMP column to the current date and time by assigning it a NULL value, unless it has been defined with the NULL attribute to permit NULL values.

    Automatic initialization and updating to the current date and time can be specified using DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP column definition clauses. By default, the first TIMESTAMP column has these properties, as previously noted. However, any TIMESTAMP column in a table can be defined to have these properties.

  • TIME[(fsp)]A time. The range is '-838:59:59.000000' to '838:59:59.000000'. MySQL displays TIME values in 'HH:MM:SS[.fraction]' format, but permits assignment of values to TIME columns using either strings or numbers.An optional fsp value in the range from 0 to 6 may be given to specify fractional seconds precision. A value of 0 signifies that there is no fractional part. If omitted, the default precision is 0.
  • YEAR[(4)]A year in four-digit format. MySQL displays YEAR values in YYYY format, but permits assignment of values to YEAR columns using either strings or numbers. Values display as 1901 to 2155, and 0000.
    Note

    The YEAR(2) data type is deprecated and support for it is removed in MySQL 5.7.5. To convert YEAR(2) columns to YEAR(4), see Section 11.3.4, “YEAR(2) Limitations and Migrating to YEAR(4)”.

    For additional information about YEAR display format and interpretation of input values, see Section 11.3.3, “The YEAR Type”.

The SUM() and AVG() aggregate functions do not work with temporal values. (They convert the values to numbers, losing everything after the first nonnumeric character.) To work around this problem, convert to numeric units, perform the aggregate operation, and convert back to a temporal value. Examples:

SELECT SEC_TO_TIME(SUM(TIME_TO_SEC(time_col))) FROM tbl_name;
SELECT FROM_DAYS(SUM(TO_DAYS(date_col))) FROM tbl_name;
Note

The MySQL server can be run with the MAXDB SQL mode enabled. In this case, TIMESTAMP is identical with DATETIME. If this mode is enabled at the time that a table is created, TIMESTAMP columns are created as DATETIME columns. As a result, such columns use DATETIME display format, have the same range of values, and there is no automatic initialization or updating to the current date and time. See Section 5.1.8, “Server SQL Modes”.

 

11.1.3 字符类型概述

A summary of the string data types follows. For additional information about properties and storage requirements of the string types, see Section 11.4, “String Types”, andSection 11.8, “Data Type Storage Requirements”.

In some cases, MySQL may change a string column to a type different from that given in a CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement. See Section 13.1.18.7, “Silent Column Specification Changes”.

MySQL interprets length specifications in character column definitions in character units. This applies to CHAR, VARCHAR, and the TEXT types.

Column definitions for many string data types can include attributes that specify the character set or collation of the column. These attributes apply to the CHAR, VARCHAR, the TEXT types, ENUM, and SET data types:

  • The CHARACTER SET attribute specifies the character set, and the COLLATE attribute specifies a collation for the character set. For example:
    CREATE TABLE t
    (
        c1 VARCHAR(20) CHARACTER SET utf8,
        c2 TEXT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_general_cs
    );

    This table definition creates a column named c1 that has a character set of utf8 with the default collation for that character set, and a column named c2 that has a character set of latin1 and a case-sensitive collation.

    The rules for assigning the character set and collation when either or both of the CHARACTER SET and COLLATE attributes are missing are described in Section 10.1.3.5, “Column Character Set and Collation”.

    CHARSET is a synonym for CHARACTER SET.

  • Specifying the CHARACTER SET binary attribute for a character string data type causes the column to be created as the corresponding binary string data type: CHARbecomes BINARY, VARCHAR becomes VARBINARY, and TEXT becomes BLOB. For the ENUM and SET data types, this does not occur; they are created as declared. Suppose that you specify a table using this definition:
    CREATE TABLE t
    (
      c1 VARCHAR(10) CHARACTER SET binary,
      c2 TEXT CHARACTER SET binary,
      c3 ENUM('a','b','c') CHARACTER SET binary
    );

    The resulting table has this definition:

    CREATE TABLE t
    (
      c1 VARBINARY(10),
      c2 BLOB,
      c3 ENUM('a','b','c') CHARACTER SET binary
    );
  • The BINARY attribute is shorthand for specifying the table default character set and the binary (_bin) collation of that character set. In this case, comparison and sorting are based on numeric character code values.
  • The ASCII attribute is shorthand for CHARACTER SET latin1.
  • The UNICODE attribute is shorthand for CHARACTER SET ucs2.

Character column comparison and sorting are based on the collation assigned to the column. For the CHAR, VARCHAR, TEXT, ENUM, and SET data types, you can declare a column with a binary (_bin) collation or the BINARY attribute to cause comparison and sorting to use the underlying character code values rather than a lexical ordering.

For additional information about use of character sets in MySQL, see Section 10.1, “Character Set Support”.

  • [NATIONAL] CHAR[(M)] [CHARACTER SET charset_name] [COLLATE collation_name]A fixed-length string that is always right-padded with spaces to the specified length when stored. M represents the column length in characters. The range of M is 0 to 255. If M is omitted, the length is 1.
    Note

    Trailing spaces are removed when CHAR values are retrieved unless the PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH SQL mode is enabled.

    CHAR is shorthand for CHARACTER. NATIONAL CHAR (or its equivalent short form, NCHAR) is the standard SQL way to define that a CHAR column should use some predefined character set. MySQL uses utf8 as this predefined character set. Section 10.1.3.7, “The National Character Set”.

    The CHAR BYTE data type is an alias for the BINARY data type. This is a compatibility feature.

    MySQL permits you to create a column of type CHAR(0). This is useful primarily when you have to be compliant with old applications that depend on the existence of a column but that do not actually use its value. CHAR(0) is also quite nice when you need a column that can take only two values: A column that is defined as CHAR(0) NULL occupies only one bit and can take only the values NULL and '' (the empty string).

  • [NATIONAL] VARCHAR(M) [CHARACTER SET charset_name] [COLLATE collation_name]A variable-length string. M represents the maximum column length in characters. The range of M is 0 to 65,535. The effective maximum length of a VARCHAR is subject to the maximum row size (65,535 bytes, which is shared among all columns) and the character set used. For example, utf8 characters can require up to three bytes per character, so a VARCHAR column that uses the utf8 character set can be declared to be a maximum of 21,844 characters. See Section C.10.4, “Limits on Table Column Count and Row Size”.MySQL stores VARCHAR values as a 1-byte or 2-byte length prefix plus data. The length prefix indicates the number of bytes in the value. A VARCHAR column uses one length byte if values require no more than 255 bytes, two length bytes if values may require more than 255 bytes.
    Note

    MySQL follows the standard SQL specification, and does not remove trailing spaces from VARCHAR values.

    VARCHAR is shorthand for CHARACTER VARYING. NATIONAL VARCHAR is the standard SQL way to define that a VARCHAR column should use some predefined character set. MySQL uses utf8 as this predefined character set. Section 10.1.3.7, “The National Character Set”. NVARCHAR is shorthand for NATIONAL VARCHAR.

  • BINARY(M)The BINARY type is similar to the CHAR type, but stores binary byte strings rather than nonbinary character strings. M represents the column length in bytes.
  • VARBINARY(M)The VARBINARY type is similar to the VARCHAR type, but stores binary byte strings rather than nonbinary character strings. M represents the maximum column length in bytes.
  • TINYBLOBA BLOB column with a maximum length of 255 (28 − 1) bytes. Each TINYBLOB value is stored using a 1-byte length prefix that indicates the number of bytes in the value.
  • TINYTEXT [CHARACTER SET charset_name] [COLLATE collation_name]A TEXT column with a maximum length of 255 (28 − 1) characters. The effective maximum length is less if the value contains multibyte characters. Each TINYTEXT value is stored using a 1-byte length prefix that indicates the number of bytes in the value.
  • BLOB[(M)]A BLOB column with a maximum length of 65,535 (216 − 1) bytes. Each BLOB value is stored using a 2-byte length prefix that indicates the number of bytes in the value.An optional length M can be given for this type. If this is done, MySQL creates the column as the smallest BLOB type large enough to hold values M bytes long.
  • TEXT[(M)] [CHARACTER SET charset_name] [COLLATE collation_name]A TEXT column with a maximum length of 65,535 (216 − 1) characters. The effective maximum length is less if the value contains multibyte characters. Each TEXT value is stored using a 2-byte length prefix that indicates the number of bytes in the value.An optional length M can be given for this type. If this is done, MySQL creates the column as the smallest TEXT type large enough to hold values M characters long.
  • MEDIUMBLOBA BLOB column with a maximum length of 16,777,215 (224 − 1) bytes. Each MEDIUMBLOB value is stored using a 3-byte length prefix that indicates the number of bytes in the value.
  • MEDIUMTEXT [CHARACTER SET charset_name] [COLLATE collation_name]A TEXT column with a maximum length of 16,777,215 (224 − 1) characters. The effective maximum length is less if the value contains multibyte characters. EachMEDIUMTEXT value is stored using a 3-byte length prefix that indicates the number of bytes in the value.
  • LONGBLOBA BLOB column with a maximum length of 4,294,967,295 or 4GB (232 − 1) bytes. The effective maximum length of LONGBLOB columns depends on the configured maximum packet size in the client/server protocol and available memory. Each LONGBLOB value is stored using a 4-byte length prefix that indicates the number of bytes in the value.
  • LONGTEXT [CHARACTER SET charset_name] [COLLATE collation_name]A TEXT column with a maximum length of 4,294,967,295 or 4GB (232 − 1) characters. The effective maximum length is less if the value contains multibyte characters. The effective maximum length of LONGTEXT columns also depends on the configured maximum packet size in the client/server protocol and available memory. EachLONGTEXT value is stored using a 4-byte length prefix that indicates the number of bytes in the value.
  • ENUM('value1','value2',...) [CHARACTER SET charset_name] [COLLATE collation_name]An enumeration. A string object that can have only one value, chosen from the list of values 'value1', 'value2', ..., NULL or the special '' error value. ENUM values are represented internally as integers.An ENUM column can have a maximum of 65,535 distinct elements. (The practical limit is less than 3000.) A table can have no more than 255 unique element list definitions among its ENUM and SET columns considered as a group. For more information on these limits, see Section C.10.5, “Limits Imposed by .frm File Structure”.
  • SET('value1','value2',...) [CHARACTER SET charset_name] [COLLATE collation_name]A set. A string object that can have zero or more values, each of which must be chosen from the list of values 'value1', 'value2', ... SET values are represented internally as integers.A SET column can have a maximum of 64 distinct members. A table can have no more than 255 unique element list definitions among its ENUM and SET columns considered as a group. For more information on this limit, see Section C.10.5, “Limits Imposed by .frm File Structure”.
