Storing very large integers in MySQL
Hello I am creating a browser game and scores can be higher than 11 characters. So I learned that INT can keep informations that are under 11 characters long.
Can I keep them in TEXT format, are there any potential issues and risk if I do that?
Thanks.
Yes you can, but first try to use bigint.
And yes there is risks, for example you’ll have some bugs trying to fetch chars with score > any value, or exact some value
