In MySQL Workbench table editor there are 7 column flags available: PK, NN, UQ, BIN, UN, ZF, AI.
PK obviously stands for Primary Key. What about others?
PK – Primary Key
NN – Not Null
BIN – Binary (stores data as binary strings. There is no character set so sorting and comparison is based on the numeric values of the bytes in the values.)
UN – Unsigned (non-negative numbers only. so if the range is -500 to 500, instead its 0 – 1000, the range is the same but it starts at 0)
UQ – Create/remove Unique Key
ZF – Zero-Filled (if the length is 5 like INT(5) then every field is filled with 0’s to the 5th digit. 12 = 00012, 400 = 00400, etc. )
AI – Auto Increment
G – Generated column. i.e. value generated by a formula based on the other columns
