What is changed, added or deleted? (Required)

Update the docs to follow the change in default value for deprecate-integer-display-length.

This follows the behavior in MySQL.

Integer types can be defined like int(10) or int(8) or int. People often misunderstand the meaning of the number that is specified here (e.g. the 10 and the 8 here). This does not change the capacity of the value that can be stored it only changes how it might be displayed.

See also https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/numeric-type-attributes.html and pingcap/tidb#56529

Important: This changes the documentation for the variable and updates the page describing numeric types. However this does NOT update the output that might have changed.

Output that changes based on this variable:

  • SHOW CREATE TABLE
  • DESCRIBE <table>, EXPLAIN <table> and SHOW COLUMNS FROM ...
  • EXPLAIN...

Which TiDB version(s) do your changes apply to? (Required)

Tips for choosing the affected version(s):

By default, CHOOSE MASTER ONLY so your changes will be applied to the next TiDB major or minor releases. If your PR involves a product feature behavior change or a compatibility change, CHOOSE THE AFFECTED RELEASE BRANCH(ES) AND MASTER.

For details, see tips for choosing the affected versions.

  • master (the latest development version)
  • v8.4 (TiDB 8.4 versions)
  • v8.3 (TiDB 8.3 versions)
  • v8.2 (TiDB 8.2 versions)
  • v8.1 (TiDB 8.1 versions)
  • v7.5 (TiDB 7.5 versions)
  • v7.1 (TiDB 7.1 versions)
  • v6.5 (TiDB 6.5 versions)
