At http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/BLOB.html you can read about the BLOB and TEXT column types. As you can see in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Storage_requirements.html there are several variations which can each hold a different amount of data: TINYTEXT: 2^8 chars (256) TEXT : 2^16 (65,536) MEDIUMTEXT : 2^24 (16,777,216) LONGTEXT : 2^32 (4,294,967,296) More than enough for your purposes I gues ;-) Regards, Jigal. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
