What doesn't make sense? Tell us what you think you understand (or don't) and then we can fill in the blanks and increase your understanding.

I understand the data types that have to be allocated to a column but how does the storage size for eg. Int data type has 4 bytes allocated to it. Is that a fixed 4 bytes? and how is that 4bytes worked out in storage capacity and where is this stored apart from the db, assuming it is stored somewhere else?
Many Thanks
