The UNSIGNED type cannot be negative, but, on the other hand, it has twice as much range for positive integers. The TINYINT, SMALLINT, MEDIUMINT, INT, and BIGINT types have signed and unsigned versions.
For INT, ranges are defined as follows:
Type Storage Min Max INT 4 -2147483648 2147483647 INT UNSIGNED 4 0 4294967295
Signed and unsigned types occupy the same storage space (4 bytes for INT).
