===== Key Notes =====
==== SIGNED vs UNSIGNED ====
By default, integers are SIGNED (can store negative and positive values).
Adding UNSIGNED allows only non-negative values but doubles the positive range.

==== Performance Considerations ====
Use the smallest type that fits your data to save storage and improve performance.
