It appears as though the MySQL VARCHAR type can preserve newlines <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/char.html>. However trailing space is removed in this data type. If trailing space must be preserved, one could use the MySQL TEXT type <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/blob.html>. -Adrian _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
