Hi,
advantage of SmallInt vs INT vs BIGINT is data density (keep record
shortest as possible).
If you have one column, it is irrelevant, if you have ten columns, you
will see speed improvement.

Hi,
In 2014 I was at the FB conference in Prague. If I remember correctly,
Ann Harrison told the audience that there are no advantages when using
SMALLINT or INT versus BIGINT. But I don’t remember the reason. Was it
the block size of modern architecture? Maybe Ann can make it clear
again? Or someone else. Would be great.
Thank you
Martin
