Are there any potential issues with using integer(255) for defining column lengths in MySQL tables?

Using integer(255) for defining column lengths in MySQL tables can lead to unnecessary storage space being used, as integer data types can only hold values up to a certain maximum size (e.g. INT can hold values up to 4 bytes). It is recommended to use the appropriate integer data type that corresponds to the range of values you expect to store in the column.

// Example of defining a column with the appropriate integer data type
$createTableQuery = "CREATE TABLE example_table (
                        id INT(10) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
                        some_value INT(11)
                    )";
