Research direction

Start with database/mysql/telemetry_mysql.sql and compare its telemetry columns with the MySQL storage-requirements documentation linked in the issue. Review the types and nullability for dl, ul, ping, jitter, text, and longtext. Done means the schema uses appropriate numeric and text types with intentional nullability.
