Types in MySQL: BigInt(20) vs Int(20)

Question

I was wondering what the difference between BigInt, MediumInt, and Int are... it would seem obvious that they would allow for larger n

Answer 1

I wanted to add one more point is, if you are storing a really large number like 902054990011312 then one can easily see the difference of INT(20) and BIGINT(20). It is advisable to store in BIGINT.
