NUMBER

BLOB
A binary string. Unlike the regular STRING fields, this type of string is handled with case-sensitivity.

ENUM

DATE

TIMESTAMP
A time and date in the format of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

TABLE

Furthermore, you can set some field attributes for each field:

  • DEFAULT (...) : Sets the default value of this field to (...)
