In this little course today we will be creating a table with the name "players", with 2 columns called "username", and "userid". Example:
Notes (source: )
The data type specifies what type of data the column can hold. For a complete reference of all the available data types, go to our .
After the data type, you can specify other optional attributes for each column:
NOT NULL - Each row must contain a value for that column, null values are not allowed
DEFAULT value - Set a default value that is added when no other value is passed
UNSIGNED - Used for number types, limits the stored data to positive numbers and zero
AUTO INCREMENT - MySQL automatically increases the value of the field by 1 each time a new record is added
PRIMARY KEY - Used to uniquely identify the rows in a table. The column with the PRIMARY KEY setting is often an ID number and is often used with AUTO_INCREMENT
