EXAMPLES

SIGNED and UNSIGNED

The MEDIUMINT data type may be SIGNED (allowing negative values) or UNSIGNED (not allowing negative values).

Example of MEDIUMINT SIGNED (the default):

CREATE TABLE mediumint_signed_example (
   description VARCHAR(20),
   example MEDIUMINT SIGNED
);
INSERT INTO mediumint_signed_example VALUES
   ('Zero', 0),
   ('Forty-Two', 42),
   ('Minimum', -8388608),
   ('Maximum', 8388607);

Example of MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED:

CREATE TABLE mediumint_unsigned_example (
   description VARCHAR(20),
   example MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED
);
INSERT INTO mediumint_unsigned_example VALUES
   ('Zero', 0),
   ('Forty-Two', 42),
   ('Minimum', 0),
   ('Maximum', 16777215);

Out-of-Range

A value is considered "out-of-range" when it is too small or too large to be stored in a data type. When sql_mode=STRICT_TRANS_TABLES (the default) is set, an out-of-range value generates an error. If strict mode is not in effect, the value is rounded to the nearest valid value without any warnings.

An example of non-strict out-of-range behavior:

TRUNCATE mediumint_signed_example;

-- Disable strict mode or the inserts will fail
SET sql_mode=(SELECT REPLACE(@@sql_mode, 'STRICT_TRANS_TABLES', ''));

INSERT INTO mediumint_signed_example VALUES
   ('Underflow', -8388609),
   ('Overflow', 8388608);
SELECT * FROM mediumint_signed_example;
+-------------+----------+
| description | example  |
+-------------+----------+
| Underflow   | -8388608 |
| Overflow    |  8388607 |
+-------------+----------+
TRUNCATE mediumint_unsigned_example;

-- Disable strict mode or the inserts will fail
SET sql_mode=(SELECT REPLACE(@@sql_mode, 'STRICT_TRANS_TABLES', ''));

INSERT INTO mediumint_unsigned_example VALUES
   ('Underflow', -1),
   ('Overflow', 16777216);
SELECT * FROM mediumint_unsigned_example;
+-------------+----------+
| description | example  |
+-------------+----------+
| Underflow   |        0 |
| Overflow    | 16777215 |
+-------------+----------+

MEDIUMINT ZEROFILL

While Xpand accepts the MEDIUMINT ZEROFILL type on table create, the qualifier is ignored and silently dropped:

CREATE TABLE mediumint_zerofill_example (
   description VARCHAR(20),
   example MEDIUMINT ZEROFILL
);
SHOW CREATE TABLE mediumint_zerofill_example\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: mediumint_zerofill_example
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `mediumint_zerofill_example` (
  `description` varchar(20) CHARACTER SET utf8,
  `example` mediumint(9)
) CHARACTER SET utf8 /*$ SLICES=3 */
