| i have about 200000 records in a table and fields areid int(4) identitytext1 text(16)text2 text(16)now the problem is text1 does not allow null value so people have to enter something for it but not fot text2. as a result i have thausands of empty text2 fields left on the database. is text field padded? is it wasting my database space? should i replace text2 field with isText2 bit and create a new table for text2 to save db space? |
