From my experience with InnoDB,
IF the field is an index, it will use 3 bytes per character. So
VARCHAR(50) = 150 bytes, when fully populated. (+ 1 for the length =
151 bytes.)
IF the field is not an index, each character will consume between 1 and
3 chars. So VARCHAR(50) = 51 -> 151 char
I am limiting text to 50 chars in mysql field by varchar(50) ( UTF-8
enabled)
but what if the user enters 50 japanese chars, does mysql accomodate it OR
we have to consider some buffer during design ?
