    Here's a breakdown of what each part means:int: This is the data type, indicating that the column will store integer values
  2. Boolean Data Types in SQL Server and MySQL: A Comparative Example
    Boolean Data Types:In programming, a boolean data type is used to represent logical values, typically "true" or "false. " These values are often used to make decisions or control the flow of a program
  3. Understanding Numeric Data Types in SQL Server with Code Examples
    numericPurpose: Stores precise numeric values with a specified precision and scale.Precision: The total number of digits
  4. Best Practices for Bcrypt Hashed Password Columns in MySQL
    Bcrypt (Blowfish) is a cryptographic hash function designed specifically for password hashing.It incorporates a work factor (cost) that makes brute-force attacks computationally expensive
  5. When Does Your Data Need a Time Zone? Choosing Timestamps in PostgreSQL
    Think of it like a snapshot of your local calendar and clock.It stores the date and time as-is, without considering what time zone it belongs to
  6. Enforcing Data Restrictions in SQLite: Beyond Built-in Types
    Create a separate table: This table will hold the actual allowed values for your ENUM. It will have two columns:One column to store the actual value (e.g., text).Another column (optional) to store an order or code (e.g., integer)
  7. Ensuring Data Integrity: Using `unsigned` or Alternative Methods in MySQL
    In MySQL, unsigned is an attribute that can be applied to integer data types (like INT, SMALLINT, etc. ) to restrict the range of values a column can store

  12. Binary vs. Character: Selecting the Optimal Data Type for Hashed Passwords
    Data Types:There are two main options for storing hashed passwords:Binary: This is the preferred choice, as it efficiently stores the raw bytes of the hash without any character encoding
