SET

SET is a SQL data type in the Data Types category. A string column that can store zero or more of the specified values (bitmask). MySQL-specific. The syntax is SET('value1', 'value2', ...). It returns set of values. A typical example: CREATE TABLE users ( permissions SET('read', 'write', 'delete', 'admin') ); -- Can store 'read,write' or 'admin' or '' etc. A close relative is INT, which standard integer type. Range: -2147483648 to 2147483647 (signed). Use BIGINT for larger values. A close relative is VARCHAR(n), which variable-length string with a maximum length. Most common string type. Efficient for varying-length data. A close relative is TEXT, which for large text content (up to 65535 bytes in MySQL). Variants: TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGTEXT.
