title: What does the number in mediumint(10) denote?
body: <p>I'm creating a table in  MySql and I came across columns with datatype as mediumint followed by a number in parenthesis. What does this number denote?</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/integer-types.html" rel="nofollow">https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/integer-types.html</a> says that unsigned mediumint can take a max value of 16777215, so how does it differ if  have columns with different sizes mediumint(6) or mediumint(10) ?</p>
