Hi All,

I am a bit confused by the MySQL documentation on this subject.  From 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Storage_requirements.html

"The maximum size of a row in a MyISAM table is 65,534 bytes. Each BLOB and 
TEXT column accounts for only five to nine bytes toward this size."

So, the maximum size is 64k, but you can go over that limit by using BLOB or 
TEXT types, because although they can hold up to 4gb (2^32 bytes for 
LONGBLOB/LONGTEXT types), they still only contribue 5 to 9 bytes?  What?  Am 
I reading that correctly?

Thanks for any clarification,
  -Josh
