php - MySQL database performance -
i working on project php/laravel , mysql, have table has 20 columns, , in cases of columns empty... performance of application important me, , size of database not... want know impact of empty columns in application performance.
thanks , sorry bad engilsh
first of all, there huge difference between empty/blank
database column , null
value column. explained empty column in cases, there chance of low performance, because database needs more , more space accommodate empty values null value. more space means more hardware cost + difficult maintain + less performance.
so best way set column type null
database ignores field, use less space , thereby high performance if have large number of records , columns.
note: mentioned, affect unless have huge load of data, won't affect if number of records comparatively less.
