    Hi! I have a question about data type using MySQL.
    I have a auxiliary table CONDITION, its values are:
    Pending, Active, Closed.
    What is better option:
    id / condition
1   Pending
2   Active
3   Closed
    PHP:
    or
    id / condition
P   Pending
A   Active
C   Closed
    PHP:
    id integer or id varchar(1)?
    I usually use integer / unsigned for the IDs. I accept suggestions. Thanks.

    My advice : use an integer. The comparison will be faster and the usage will be easier (no problem with the case for example)
