Using varchar or something else?

[Dan]

I have used varchar for ALL my fields as this is the only one i know.

Alot of my rows just contain image link text ie.

/image/logoa.gif

Is using varchar overkill for these fields?.  Would i be better using something else?

Any advice?

TIA
Dan


ps. for my row which contains numbers it seems i can use either numeric or int ?  What's
the difference, which should i use?

pps.  is there a list which specifys all options and their uses?
