I was hoping to store some fairly large blocks of text
in a MySQL table, like brief accounts for all 50
states, such as this:
"South Dakota was long known as the <em>Sunshine
State</em> because it’s state motto, which was
depicted on the state flag, was “Sunshine
State.” In 1980, the motto, flag, and nickname
was changed to “The Mount Rushmore State”
because it was felt South Dakota couldn’t
compete with the other <em>Sunshine State</em>,
Florida, which enhanced its reputation for sunshine
with the nickname <em>Orange State</em>. The nickname
<em>Coyote State</em> was actually inspired by a swift
horse. Other old nicknames are <em>Blizzard State</em>
and <em>Artesian State</em> (for artesian wells)"
I checked The Manual, which confirmed that 255
characters is indeed the limit for text entries. But I
wondered if there might be some workaround. If not,
I'll just limit myself to smaller bytes!
