Design Question - Which Data Type
Hey guys, I got a column in my database called 'section' and the probable values it's going to contain look something like 001, 002, 500, 488 4A, 676 7B, etc
Which data type(and size) should I use?
Currently I'm thinking of var(size) or varchar(size)

Thanks KevinADC,
I don't seem to understand what the command below is doing [CODE=perl]my $what = shift; [/CODE]

How do i learn how to write real working scripts as i learn how to program.?...Leave a comment:

I can find it manually by going to the help menu as you suggested, but isn't the whole philosophy of programming to be lazy? but thats besides the point.
I did try it without the quotes like help (if) and it gives me a syntax error.
I should've also added in the first post that the error included the following:
