M指示最大显示宽度。最大有效显示宽度是255。显示宽度与存储大小或类型包含的值的范围无关
我们来进行下试验
代码如下:
mysql(root@localhost:test 03:19:00)>create table c (
-> id int not null,
-> name char not null);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.25 sec)
mysql(root@localhost:test 03:19:34)>desc c;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id | int(11) | NO | | NULL | |
| name | char(1) | NO | | NULL | |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
那么我们可以看到这里，系统会自动为我们的数据类型给出一个默认的宽带值，这里这个宽度值其实只有在zerofill的作用下才能起到一定的作用。在下面我们看下其他的默认值是多少，
代码如下:
mysql(root@localhost:test 03:34:53)>alter table c modify id smallint;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql(root@localhost:test 03:39:39)>desc c;
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
| name | varchar(10) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql(root@localhost:test 03:39:44)>alter table c modify id bigint;
Query OK, 4 rows affected (0.23 sec)
Records: 4 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql(root@localhost:test 03:40:12)>desc c;
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id | bigint(20) | YES | | NULL | |
| name | varchar(10) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.01 sec)
这里我们再来看下当插入值大于数据类型的取值范围的情况：
代码如下:
mysql(root@localhost:test 03:25:58)>insert into c values(300,'chen');
Query OK, 1 row affected, 2 warnings (0.08 sec)
mysql(root@localhost:test 03:26:20)>show warnings;
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------+
| Level | Code | Message |
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------+
| Warning | 1264 | Out of range value for column 'id' at row 1 |
| Warning | 1265 | Data truncated for column 'name' at row 1 |
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql(root@localhost:test 03:26:27)>select * from c;
+------+------+
| id | name |
+------+------+
| 127 | c |
+------+------+
1 row in set (0.02 sec)
mysql(root@localhost:test 03:26:40)>insert into c values(320,'chen');
Query OK, 1 row affected, 2 warnings (0.05 sec)
mysql(root@localhost:test 03:26:53)>select * from c;
+------+------+
| id | name |
+------+------+
| 127 | c |
| 127 | c |
+------+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
这里的tinyint是占有一个字节，就是可以表示从0-255这个范围的整数，可是这里为什么直到127呢，原因是我们没有给他设定无符号类型的。
