ColdFusion • Developing WWW sites typically involved a lot of programming to build dynamic sites – e.g. Pages generated as a result of catalog searches, etc.
• ColdFusion was designed to permit the construction of dynamic web sites with only minor extensions to HTML through a DBMS interface IS 257 – Fall 2006

What ColdFusion is Good for • Putting up databases onto the Web • Handling dynamic databases (Frequent updates, etc) • Making databases searchable and updateable by users.

MySQL Data Types • MySQL supports all of the standard SQL numeric data types. These types include the exact numeric data types (INTEGER, SMALLINT, DECIMAL, and NUMERIC), as well as the approximate numeric data types (FLOAT, REAL, and DOUBLE PRECISION). The keyword INT is a synonym for INTEGER, and the keyword DEC is a synonym for DECIMAL • Numeric (can also be declared as UNSIGNED) – – – – – – – – IS 257 – Fall 2006
TINYINT (1 byte) SMALLINT (2 bytes) MEDIUMINT (3 bytes) INT (4 bytes) BIGINT (8 bytes) NUMERIC or DECIMAL FLOAT DOUBLE (or DOUBLE PRECISION) 2006.10.19 SLIDE 38
MySQL Data Types • The date and time types for representing temporal values are DATETIME, DATE, TIMESTAMP, TIME, and YEAR. Each temporal type has a range of legal values, as well as a “zero” value that is used when you specify an illegal value that MySQL cannot represent – – – – – – IS 257 – Fall 2006
DATETIME '0000-00-00 00:00:00' DATE '0000-00-00' TIMESTAMP (4.1 and up) '0000-00-00 00:00:00' TIMESTAMP (before 4.1) 00000000000000 TIME '00:00:00' YEAR 0000 2006.10.19 SLIDE 39
MySQL Data Types • The string types are CHAR, VARCHAR, BINARY, VARBINARY, BLOB, TEXT, ENUM, and SET • Maximum length for CHAR and VARCHAR is 255 Value "" "ab" "abcd" "abcdefg"
CHAR(4) Storage VARCHAR(4) Storage " " 4 "" 1 "ab " 4 "ab" 3 "abcd" 4 "abcd" 5 "abcd" 4 "abcd" 5
• For longer things there is BLOB and TEXT IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.10.19 SLIDE 40
MySQL Data Types • A BLOB is a binary large object that can hold a variable amount of data. • The four BLOB types are TINYBLOB, BLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, and LONGBLOB. These differ only in the maximum length of the values they can hold • The four TEXT types are TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, and LONGTEXT. These correspond to the four BLOB types and have the same maximum lengths and storage requirements • TINY=1byte, BLOB and TEXT=2bytes, MEDIUM=3bytes, LONG=4bytes IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.10.19 SLIDE 41
MySQL Data Types • BINARY and VARBINARY are like CHAR and VARCHAR but are intended for binary data of 255 bytes or less • ENUM is a list of values that are stored as their addresses in the list – For example, a column specified as ENUM('one', 'two', 'three') can have any of the values shown here. The index of each value is also shown: • • • • • •
Value = Index NULL = NULL ‘’ = 0 'one’ = 1 ‘two’ = 2 ‘three’ = 3
– An enumeration can have a maximum of 65,535 elements.
IS 257 – Fall 2006
2006.10.19 SLIDE 42
MySQL Data Types • The final string type (for this version) is a SET • A SET is a string object that can have zero or more values, each of which must be chosen from a list of allowed values specified when the table is created. • SET column values that consist of multiple set members are specified with members separated by commas (‘,’) • For example, a column specified as SET('one', 'two') NOT NULL can have any of these values: – – – –
'' 'one' 'two' 'one,two‘
• A set can have up to 64 member values and is stored as an 8byte number
