From the peq luclin beta1 database:
Code:
CREATE TABLE items (
id int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
minstatus smallint(5) NOT NULL default '0',
Name varchar(64) NOT NULL default '',
aagi int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
ac int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
accuracy int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
... and so on
will tell mysql to fill not otherwise declared entrys with these default values. Mysql itself will not allocate memory for such default entries but will answer queries to them. At least I guess it is so without having the time to validate.

Yes, in an standard array the memory must be allocated. There are some ways around that.
