Unsigned Zerofill


Harrison

Recommended Posts

Hello Matt,

 

Just been looking at the database and it's something I noticed a version or two ago. Why have the clients and packages id's changed to unsigned zerofill numbers so they look like:

 

0000000001 (10 characters)

 

Instead of:

 

1 (1 character)

 

Is there any reason for this or?

 

I'm not saying it's bad or good, as I really don't have a clue.

 

Also,

 

Why are the fields text and not varchar? What's the difference?

 

As I said, I'm not the great website coder here, just interested :)
