Just wondering: this link seems to refer to Firebird/InterBase, not
MySQL.
In particular, MySQL stores Blobs "in row", the text describes the
"out of row" storage of Blobs.
As a result, I don't think there is much difference in the
performance of BLOB and VARCHAR(255) in MySQL (VARCHAR is probably a
tick faster).
Regards,
Paul

Subject: Performance of different length/size datatypes
Hello,
Originally I had this long explanation of what I'm doing and why I'm
asking this question but I thought I'd just cut to the chase and
ask...
For a db that doesn't get a lot queries is there much of a
performance
difference between BLOB and VARCHAR(255)?
Thanks,
Chris.
