Hi, I am really new to MySQL and am wondering this: I understand how to make a database and tables but what I don't understand is when to make a row an "int" with auto_increment or just a plain "int". Or why would you use varchar(50) instead of char(50). Could someone please explain what is happening and why? Thank you Jerry
