Which datatype is should I use to set a column for 5-star rating?
You can use ENUM datatype for this. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable
(
Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
UserRating ENUM('1','2','3','4','5')
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.54 sec)Insert records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable(UserRating) values('5');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(UserRating) values('3');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(UserRating) values('1');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(UserRating) values('3');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.24 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(UserRating) values('4');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)Display records from the table using select command −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----+------------+ | Id | UserRating | +----+------------+ | 1 | 5 | | 2 | 3 | | 3 | 1 | | 4 | 3 | | 5 | 4 | +----+------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
