Thanks for your mail.

 

  • smallint will be out of range for this  due to number of bytes and ideally its behaving same way as any ***int data type.
  • Boolean is not possible as this is phone number.

 

Please suggest

 

Thanks..

Use datatype smallint(1) for storing zero or use Boolean datatype.

Hello Experts,

 

As per business needs we need to store Zero(0) in primary key column of table  with this kind of value à  07******** with applications written in Java microservices.

 

We are not able to use numeric data type as it trims the Zero value in leading, but it’s also a performance impact if we define varchar in the data type.

 

Please suggest.

 

Thanks
