Answer from AI
The main data types for columns in SQL tables include:
- INTEGER — integer values
- REAL or FLOAT — floating-point numbers
- TEXT — text strings
- CHAR(n) — fixed-length string
- VARCHAR(n) — variable-length string with limit
- DATE — date
- DATETIME or TIMESTAMP — date and time
- BOOLEAN — logical type (true/false)
- BLOB — binary data
Specific types and their names may vary slightly across different DBMSs (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc.). For example, PostgreSQL has SERIAL types for auto-increment, and MySQL has ENUM for enumerations.
