What is the maximum size of int(10) in Mysql

Question

In my database I have declared a variable of datatype Int(10). If I type a number in a textbox in my web page, that number is stored in a variable whose largest val

Answer 1

INT(10) means you probably defined it as INT UNSIGNED.

So, you can store numbers from 0 up to 4294967295 (note that the maximum value has 10 digits, so MySQL automatically added the (10) in the column definition which (10) is just a format hint and nothing more. It has no effect on how big number you can store).

You can use BIGINT UNSIGNED if you want to store bigger values. See the MySQL docs: Integer Types (Exact Value)

Answer 2

Just use BigInt Instead of Int in Mysql and if you want explanation in brief then goto

MySQL DataTypes

Answer 3

An unsigned int has the max value of 4294967295 no matter if its INT(1) or int(10) and will use 4 bytes of data.
