Hi there, I did just do a procedure anlyse to my table and figured out that the best type would be enum.
I tryed: ALTER TABLE `test` CHANGE `field` `field` ENUM but I am getting an error: You have an error at your sql sytax at "" Is this column type even possible, because I have over 2million entries, while the field has only 250 different values. Is this type really faster? Currently my structure looks like this: id medium_int(9) field1 char50 field2 char2 field3 char2 Field 1 contains about 1.5 million different entries.
