Warning

SingleStore 9.0 gives you the opportunity to preview, evaluate, and provide feedback on new and upcoming features prior to their general availability. In the interim, SingleStore 8.9 is recommended for production workloads, which can later be upgraded to SingleStore 9.0.

Data Type	Size	Size (Not Null)	Synonyms	Min Value	Max Value
BOOL* (see note below)	2 bytes	1 byte	BOOLEAN	-128	127
BIT (used to store bit values; described in full here)	9 bytes	8 bytes
TINYINT	2 bytes	1 byte		-128	127
SMALLINT	4 bytes	2 bytes		-32768	32767
MEDIUMINT	4 bytes	3 bytes		-8388608	8388607
INT	8 bytes	4 bytes	INTEGER	-2147483648	2147483647
BIGINT	12 bytes	8 bytes		-2 ** 63	(2 ** 63) - 1

Remarks

BOOL and BOOLEAN are synonymous with TINYINT. A value of 0 is considered FALSE, non-zero values are considered TRUE.

The format: INT(x) (for example, INT(5)) is used to specify display width and not the size of the integer. Display width is not directly used within SingleStore but may be used by some clients.

An optional UNSIGNED argument is allowed for INTEGER data types. It doubles the positive range, but cannot hold negative numbers. See the following examples:

SQL

CREATE TABLE test (uid INT UNSIGNED, id INT);
INSERT INTO test SELECT 4294967295, 4294967295;
INSERT INTO test SELECT -2, -2;
SELECT * FROM test;

+------------+------------+
| uid        | id         |
+------------+------------+
| 4294967295 | 2147483647 |
|          0 |         -2 |
+------------+------------+

SQL

CREATE TABLE test2 (uid TINYINT UNSIGNED, id TINYINT);
INSERT INTO test2 SELECT 255, 255;
INSERT INTO test2 SELECT -2, -2;
SELECT * FROM test2;

+------+------+
| uid  | id   |
+------+------+
|  255 |  127 |
|    0 |   -2 |
+------+------+
