What is the java equivilant to MySQL's smallint [closed]

Question

I have a column in a MySQL table calleddead_heat_flag which data type is smallint, and I want to represent this column as one attribute in my Java class. What data type should I use?

Answer 1

As per the comment below, for MySQL's smallint, java's short should cover that value range. Of course, you could also use an int, but keep in mind that it allows many values that the database column does not.
