In MySQL, INTEGER (INT) is a numeric value without a decimal. It defines whole numbers that can be stored in a field or column. In addition, MySQL supports the display_width attribute (for example, INT(1)) and the ZEROFILL attribute, which automatically adds zeros to the value depending on the display width.

In the article, you will learn about SIGNED and UNSIGNED integer data types in MySQL. The article provides information about integer types with the ZEROFILL, AUTO_INCREMENT, and display_width attributes, as well as describes examples of when and how to use integer data types.
