MySQL Workbench a ' stupid ' design

When designing a MySQL database, you always pay attention to the length and precision when designing floating-point types. Types such as int are automatically displayed as int (11) after they are added.

This 11 is actually only a display width, does not affect the actual storage footprint. However, MySQL's ' stupid ' design is often misleading, thinking that a floating-point type represents a storage-length!!!

So that they often see the design

INT (10),

BIGINT (20)

....

Of course, can not say that the design of such a field is not the level of people, this is completely the design of the pit father misleading.
