-- Numeric types
INT                     -- 4-byte integer
BIGINT                  -- 8-byte integer
DECIMAL(10,2)           -- Exact decimal
FLOAT / DOUBLE          -- Floating point
BIT(8)                  -- Bit values

-- String types
VARCHAR(255)            -- Variable length (max 65,535)
CHAR(10)               -- Fixed length
TEXT                   -- 65,535 chars
MEDIUMTEXT             -- 16 MB
LONGTEXT               -- 4 GB

-- Date/Time types  
DATE                   -- YYYY-MM-DD
TIME                   -- HH:MM:SS
DATETIME               -- YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
TIMESTAMP              -- Auto-update capable
YEAR                   -- Year value

-- DETAILED_TAB:
-- AUTO_INCREMENT
CREATE TABLE users (
  id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE,
  created TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  updated TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP 
    ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- ENUM and SET
CREATE TABLE products (
  status ENUM('active', 'inactive', 'pending'),
  tags SET('new', 'sale', 'featured')
);

-- Binary types
BINARY(16)             -- Fixed binary (UUID)
VARBINARY(255)         -- Variable binary
BLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, LONGBLOB  -- Binary objects

-- Check storage engine
SHOW TABLE STATUS WHERE Name = 'users';
SHOW ENGINES;

-- Create with specific engine
CREATE TABLE transactions (
  id INT PRIMARY KEY,
  amount DECIMAL(10,2)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;  -- Default, supports transactions

CREATE TABLE logs (
  id INT PRIMARY KEY,

-- Change storage engine
ALTER TABLE users ENGINE=InnoDB;

-- DETAILED_TAB:
-- InnoDB features (default)
• Transactions (ACID compliant)
• Foreign keys
• Row-level locking
• Crash recovery
• Better for write-heavy

-- MyISAM features
• Table-level locking only
• No transactions
• Smaller disk footprint
• Better for read-heavy
• Full-text indexing (older MySQL)

-- Memory engine
CREATE TABLE cache (
  key_name VARCHAR(255) PRIMARY KEY,
  value TEXT
