hi!

i have a question concerning string column types of a mysql database:

char is better for small sized strings (because of the fixed row size, and for
long strings it would blow the db up too much)

but how about varchar vs text or blob.. which one is suited for which need
the best? blob is case-sensitive..

but except for that text can store more than 255 chars is there any difference
between varchar and text/blob?

thanks alot in advance

best,
florian
