I've just been told the 6.5.3.1 Silent Column Specification Changes has a bit in it those that use MySQL should be aware of:
If any column in a table has a variable length, the entire row is variable-length as a result. Therefore, if a table contains any variable-length columns (VARCHAR, TEXT, or BLOB), all CHAR columns longer than three characters are changed to VARCHAR columns. I know, I should confirm this before posting, but I'm not a MySQL user, and have a deadline to meet, but thought I'd pass it along.
