A signed column in a database or data table refers to a column that can hold both positive and negative numeric values. It is typically used for storing values that can represent debts, temperature changes, or any other scenariOS where negative values are meaningful. In contrast, an unsigned column can only hold non-negative values. The "signed" designation indicates that the data type includes a sign bit to accommodate these negative values.
