In the process of searching for a dynamic database solution for a work project I have just begun reading about MySQL. So far this looks like a very promising choice for us but I have one extremely basic question that I hope someone will kindly answer for me.
Is there a character limit for text fields? Our current database info has been constructed in MS-Access 97 and we have a real problem with the fact that a text field is limited to 255 characters. We frequently have descriptive text and citations that can run over this length so it is a crucial that we find a system that will allow us to include all the related information for the documented event.
