Question about "bit length"
Posted by: Kyle Ketterer

Hey all,

I have a question. If I make an SQL query, lets say:

CREATE TABLE 'test' (

'id' INT(5) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
PRIMARY KEY('id')
);

How big of a number is INT(5) ? I read the manual on it, and I can't quite understand it. How can I determine a good value for an index based on a bit value?

Thanks
