Oops... I've just omitted the smallint type at the beginning of the document. Thanks anyway!

Hello all:
I am new to PHP and PostgereSQL with some former experiences of ASP and MSSQL. My question is when I want to represent different types of object, or different status of object in my application, e.g. class of users, I used to use tinyint in MSSQL. But I found there is no such thing in PGSQL, so what should I use instead? integer, bytea ,or bit(n)? I think integer will be the most convenient to use, isn't it?

Regards,
Ian
