Thanks for the answer Fred. I am understanding the definition of row size correctly, aren't I? What is happening is that I have a form (with loads of fields - some allowing up to 4000 characters). When a user enters an average amount of data, then the form submits and everything is good. When the user however enters more than an average amount of data and presses submit, the following error message is thrown: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (Mysql::Error: Got error 139 from storage engine: ... I did a lot of Googling for "maximum size of a mysql record" and kept finding references to the max. row size (which is, as you say 65535). I took row size to mean the size of one data set (i.e. everything that gets submitted with the form). Is this correct or am I missing something obvious? Thanks very much for your help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
