Standards for Field Sizes

Hello All,

I'm a newbie so be gentle.....

I was wondering if there's a "standard" way of sizing common fields in a database and where I could get this info (preferably online).

What I'm looking for is a list that shows the "standard" size for a TELEPHONE NUMBER field is XX; for a ZIP CODE field is XX; for a CITY field is XX; etc...

I've been Googling my butt off but haven't really found what I was looking for.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It would appear that I've posted this to the wrong forum. - Sorry!

(Told you I was a NEWBIE!)

Still, if you can help, I'd appreciate it.
