MySQL中數據類型的驗證

CHAR

char (M) M字符，長度是M*字符編碼長度，M最大255。

驗證如下：

mysql> create table t1(name char(256)) default charset=utf8;ERROR 1074 (42000): Column length too big for column 'name' (max = 255); use BLOB or TEXT insteadmysql> create table t1(name char(255)) default charset=utf8;Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.06 sec)mysql> insert into t1 values(repeat('整',255));Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)mysql> select length(name),char_length(name) from t1;+--------------+-------------------+| length(name) | char_length(name) |+--------------+-------------------+| 765 | 255 |+--------------+-------------------+1 row in set (0.00 sec)

VARCHAR

VARCHAR(M)，M同樣是字符，長度是M*字符編碼長度。它的限制比較特別，行的總長度不能超過65535字節。

mysql> create table t1(name varchar(65535));ERROR 1118 (42000): Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBsmysql> create table t1(name varchar(65534));ERROR 1118 (42000): Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBsmysql> create table t1(name varchar(65533));ERROR 1118 (42000): Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBsmysql> create table t1(name varchar(65532));Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)

注意，以上表的默認字符集是latin1，字符長度是1個字節，所以對于varchar，最大只能指定65532字節的長度。

如果是指定utf8，則最多只能指定21844的長度

mysql> create table t1(name varchar(65532)) default charset=utf8;ERROR 1074 (42000): Column length too big for column 'name' (max = 21845); use BLOB or TEXT insteadmysql> create table t1(name varchar(21845)) default charset=utf8;ERROR 1118 (42000): Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBsmysql> create table t1(name varchar(21844)) default charset=utf8;Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.07 sec)

注意：行的長度最大為65535，只是針對除blob，text以外的其它列。

mysql> create table t1(name varchar(65528),hiredate datetime) default charset=latin1;ERROR 1118 (42000): Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBsmysql> create table t1(name varchar(65527),hiredate datetime) default charset=latin1;Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

確實，datetime占了5個字節。

TEXT，BLOB

mysql> create table t1(name text(255));Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)mysql> create table t2(name text(256));Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)mysql> show create table t1/G*************************** 1. row ***************************Table: t1Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t1` (`name` tinytext) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin11 row in set (0.00 sec)mysql> show create table t2/G*************************** 1. row ***************************Table: t2Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t2` (`name` text) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin11 row in set (0.00 sec)

通過上面的輸出可以看出text可以定義長度，如果范圍小于28（即256）則為tinytext，如果范圍小于216（即65536），則為text，如果小于224，為mediumtext，小于232，為longtext。

上述范圍均是字節數。

如果定義的是utf8字符集，對于text，實際上只能插入21845個字符

mysql> create table t1(name text) default charset=utf8;Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)mysql> insert into t1 values(repeat('整',21846));ERROR 1406 (22001): Data too long for column 'name' at row 1mysql> insert into t1 values(repeat('整',21845));Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)

DECIMAl

關于Decimal，官方的說法有點繞，

Values for DECIMAL (and NUMERIC) columns are represented using a binary format that packs nine decimal (base 10) digits into four bytes. Storage for the integer and fractional parts of each value are determined separately. Each multiple of nine digits requires four bytes, and the “leftover” digits require some fraction of four bytes. The storage required for excess digits is given by the following table.

還提供了一張對應表

MySQL,數據類型

對于以上這段話的解讀，有以下幾點：

1. 每9位需要4個字節，剩下的位數所需的空間如上所示。

2. 整數部分和小數部分是分開計算的。

譬如 Decimal(6,5)，從定義可以看出，整數占1位，整數占5位，所以一共占用1+3=4個字節。

如何驗證呢？可通過InnoDB Table Monitor

如何啟動InnoDB Table Monitor，可參考：http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-enabling-monitors.html

mysql> create table t2(id decimal(6,5));Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)mysql> create table t3(id decimal(9,0));Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)mysql> create table t4(id decimal(8,3));Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)mysql> CREATE TABLE innodb_table_monitor (a INT) ENGINE=INNODB;Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.01 sec)

結果會輸出到錯誤日志中。

查看錯誤日志：

MySQL,數據類型

對于decimal(6,5),整數占1位，小數占5位，一共占用空間1+3=4個字節

對于decimal(9,0),整數部分9位，每9位需要4個字節，一共占用空間4個字節

對于decimal(8,3),整數占5位，小數占3位，一共占用空間3+2=5個字節。

至此，常用的MySQL數據類型驗證完畢~

對于CHAR，VARCHAR和TEXT等字符類型，M指定的都是字符的個數。對于CHAR，最大的字符數是255。對于VARCHAR，最大的字符數與字符集有關，如果字符集是latin1，則最大的字符數是65532（畢竟每一個字符只占用一個字節），對于utf8，最大的字符數是21844，因為一個字符占用三個字節。本質上，VARCHAR更多的是受到行大小的限制（最大為65535個字節）。對于TEXT，不受行大小的限制，但受到自身定義的限制。
