Hi all,

I have had a new mysql db set up and I noticed that the creator has basically given 
all fields attributes of "longtext", except of course the date fields and some 
numerical fields. The longtext fields show up as "memo" when I try and view the data 
in a gui tool etc.

The database has 200 fields and could hold 10000 records over time.

My question is: 

Should I be modifying these fields to normal text fields with a length of "x" (x being 
whatever length necessary for the field), or leaving them as longtext. Leaving them as 
longtext wouldn't be a good idea , would it ?

any help here would be appreciated.

cheers,

Adam
