Creating blog fresh tables from old tables [closed]

I am re-creating a database structure from old tables. New tables should be optimized and easy to understand.

In old database the developer used video table name for storing video blogs. However I don’t think it’s a proper name for storing video blogs. The below is old table

video:
    _attributes: { phpName: Video }
    ID: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', primaryKey: true, autoIncrement: true, required: true }
    coupon_banner_id: { type: INTEGER, size: '10', foreignTable: coupon_banner, foreignReference: id, onUpdate: CASCADE, onDelete: CASCADE }
    blog: { type: TINYINT, size: '1', required: true, defaultValue: '0' }
    catid: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', required: true, defaultValue: '0' }
    title: { type: VARCHAR, size: '100', required: true, defaultValue: '' }    
    description: { type: LONGVARCHAR, required: true }
    blogtopid: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', required: true, defaultValue: '1' }
    video: { type: VARCHAR, size: '50', required: true, defaultValue: '' }
    vlink: { type: LONGVARCHAR, required: true }
    picture: { type: VARCHAR, size: '255', required: true, defaultValue: '' }
    video_picture_alt: { type: VARCHAR, size: '255', required: false, defaultValue: '' }
    apicture: { type: VARCHAR, size: '150', required: true, defaultValue: '' }
    usid: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', required: true, defaultValue: '0' }
    datein: { type: TIMESTAMP, required: true, defaultValue: '0000-00-00 00:00:00' }
    koview: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', required: true, defaultValue: '0' }
    korating: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', required: true, defaultValue: '0' }
    kototrat: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', required: true, defaultValue: '0' }
    konota: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', required: true, defaultValue: '0' }
    kocomm: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', required: true, defaultValue: '0' }
    kofavorite: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', required: true, defaultValue: '0' }
    kofeatured: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', required: true, defaultValue: '0' }
    koorder: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', required: true, defaultValue: '999' }
    commtime: { type: TIMESTAMP, required: true, defaultValue: '0000-00-00 00:00:00' }
    is_active: { type: BOOLEAN, required: true, defaultValue: '0'}
    slug: { type: VARCHAR, size: '100', required: true, defaultValue: '' }
  video_cat:
    _attributes: { phpName: VideoCat }
    ID: { type: INTEGER, size: '11', primaryKey: true, autoIncrement: true, required: true }
    category: { type: VARCHAR, size: '50', required: true, defaultValue: '' }
    meta_title: { type: VARCHAR, size: '255', required: true, defaultValue: '' }
    category_desc: { type: LONGVARCHAR, required: false, defaultValue: '' }
    meta_desc: { type: LONGVARCHAR, required: false, defaultValue: '' }
    position: { type: INTEGER, size: '3', required: true, defaultValue: '999' }

I renamed it and optimized it as below:

article:
    id,
    category_id,
    user_id,
    title,
    slug,
    description,
    video_link,
    video_description,
    video_thumbnail,
    Video_thumbnail_alt,
    article_description ( I will be using CKEditor here so styles, which data type is better text or longvarchar? ),
    is_active (int or boolean which one is better),
    is_featured (int or boolean which one is better),
    is_favorite (int or boolean which one is better),
    created_at DATETIME,
    updated_at DATETIME

What else do you think needs to be improved in my new optimized table? I also want to know that whether storing video and article in a separate table is better or is it ok to store in the same table as I’m doing?

Separate tables or not — that depends on

• Are most of the columns the same?
• Are most of the operations on the table(s) the same?

If a video can be in multiple categories, you will need a many-to-many mapping table.

What is position, and how will it be maintained?
