Yes, it really is 255.
need something bigger?
try:
TINYBLOB
MEDIUMBLOB
LONGBLOB
etc..
LONGBLOB will hold L+4 bytes, where L < 2^32
2^32 is large enough for most things.

Subject: String Size question
Hey,
Curious about the maximum string size for various field types. Eg.
VARCHAR or CHAR. It's not really only 255 is it?
