Best Data Type

Post by MiniMe »

If I have a column that is only going to contain a numeric value from 0 to 10 what is the best data type in texis to use? int or byte(1)?

There are several factors to consider, but if you are going to be treating the value as a number, then it probably makes most sense to use either INT or maybe SMALLINT as the datatype.
