A SET is a string object that can have zero or more values, each of which must be chosen from a list of permitted values specified when the table is created. SET column values that consist of multiple set members are specified with members separated by commas (“,”). A consequence of this is that SET member values should not themselves contain commas.

Example

mysql> CREATE TABLE myset (col SET(‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.43 sec)

mysql> select * from myset;
Empty set (0.20 sec)

mysql> insert into myset value(‘p’);
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.23 sec)

mysql> select * from myset;
+——+
| col |
+——+
| |
+——+
1 row in set (0.10 sec)

mysql> insert into myset value(‘a’);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)

mysql> select * from myset;
+——+
| col |
+——+
| |
| a |
+——+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into myset value(‘p,a’);
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.07 sec)

mysql> select * from myset;
+——+
| col |
+——+
| |
| a |
| a |
+——+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following are the differences between CHAR and VARCHAR:

• CHAR and VARCHAR types differ in storage and retrieval
• CHAR column length is fixed to the length that is declared while creating table. The length value ranges from 1 and 255
• When CHAR values are stored then they are right padded using spaces to specific length. Trailing spaces are removed when CHAR values are retrieved.

ENUM is a string object used to specify set of predefined values and that can be used during table creation.

CREATE table phpcodez(name ENUM(‘Average’,’Good’,’Excellent’));
