Hello,

I have a question regarding table ids I'm hoping someone
can help me with. I have a table where I can use either
the tinyint or a char(1) datatype for my table id(pk) due
to the table having a small number of records. Both are
stored as 1byte so is there a performance advantage to
using one as opposed to the other?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
