2 questions from my recent MySQL database design:
1. When you have fixed width fields (e.g., an intersection table that
has merely all integer/numeric fields), would you be better off
setting the row format to be FIXED or leave as DYNAMIC (which is
the default)?
2. If you have a lookup table with integer fields where you know the
max value of that field would never rise above 99, are you wasting
space by using anything other than a TINYINT type field?
tia!
