Got a question on the bits parameter. From the MySQL website: |TINYINT[(/|M|/)] [UNSIGNED] [ZEROFILL]|
A very small integer. The signed range is |-128| to |127|. The unsigned range is |0| to |255|. So if the number is always going to be in that range, what's the point of the M value? Does TINYINT(1) mean different than TINYINT(4)? If 2**8 = 256, then would that mean the maximum declaration for TINYINT could be TINYINT(8), and likewise the max value for TINYINT(7) is 2**7, etc. etc. ?? Just wanted to clarify this as it's bugged me. tia! -- Michael J.
