Hi, This is a design question. the selection of data types must be intergrated to your application.
If you have a table with : name type apple fruit red color a simple query like select * from tbl where type ='fruit' will give only fruits to the users. You can if you have mysql 5.x create a view on this query and even select * from theview will give only fruits. Other rdbms implemente what is called snapshots or materialized views wich are real time (or near it) refreshed. This is not done till now in mysql.
