creating table with phpmyadmin

Question

I've got a few question about phpmyadmin table creating sequence

1. I'm wondering what attribute and index mean in phpmyadmin?
2. What is collation?? (for example if i want to same numbers, which one should i choose?)
3. Also a question about null checkbox if i don't want a field to have null values, checking it will make it required or not checking it?
4. And also what is timestamp in default list box?
5. What is the 'PARTITION definition' at the end of the table creating page?
6. And why is there another collation at the end of the table creating list?

i'll be so thankful if someone answers me
