As a follow-up to Naomi's reply...

If it NEVER, repeat, NEVER will come close to 255, use tinyint

I'd avoid Numeric(2,0). I can't give a compelling reason on the harm, but I'd still avoid it.

Having said all of this, for things like MonthNumber, I typically use a char(2) and make it zero-filled ( '01', '02'....'10', '11', 12'). Part of the reason is to avoid any sorting nuances in reporting tools.

Just my 2 cents
