A data analyst is designing a database table to store employee information. One of the columns, 'EmployeeID', will contain values like 'EMP-1001' and 'EMP-1002'. Since these IDs will not be used for mathematical calculations, which data type is the most appropriate for this column?
Currency
Date
Text
Numeric
The 'Text' data type is the correct choice for storing alphanumeric values, such as 'EMP-1001', that do not require mathematical operations. The 'Numeric' data type is meant for values that will be used in calculations. 'Currency' is a specialized numeric type for monetary values, and 'Date' is specifically for storing calendar date information.
