What is the recommended way of storing 10 digit phone numbers? I like
bigint(10), but it seems most are using varchar? Or I've also seen 2
int columns, one for area code and another for the rest of the digits?
I wish phone numbers had their own column type, so I can send
123-456-7890 or (123) 456-7890 or whatever and have mysql do the right
thing.

I would recommend using varchar. Then it should be quite easy to put the
data in the format you like, and read it out in the same format you put
it in.

I wanted to make a Java application which would dial a telephone
number using the modem. When the person on the other end lifts up the
telephone (answers the phone), the application should start playing an
audio file(eg. .wav file).
The approach I took was using the Java Communications
API(javax.comm.). As my modem is connected to the serial port on my
computer I send AT commands to make the phone call (ATDT2222222). This
is working...

I've built various web apps using Frontpage and/or ASP and Access, but
now I'm trying to figure a way to do the following, perhaps in ASP.Net
My friend gets parts lists in invoices (they are in an excel
spreadsheet) that he has to classify as a certain type: eg. part
number 111-111-111 is type R9, and part 222-222-222 is type 486, etc.
we have a database that is not quite complete, but contains most of
these classifications.

I save a number in the table and want to get that number again, but the
number I get has lower precision than I expect. For example, when I divide
10/3 I get 3.3333333333333335 if the variable is of type Double. But saving
this result into a table with a column of type Double decreases the precision
to 3.333333333333333 , so when I get this number and multiply it 10 I do not
get that exact number which is 10.
How can I solve this...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
