Hello, and thanks for your time.
Basically, I am using telnet to create tables/columns, and all is ok, except
I do not know the correct syntax for using blob text.
For example, if I create a table named 'members' with id/name/description
it would look like:
CREATE TABLE movieform (
ID INT NOT NULL,
name CHAR(255) NOT NULL,
description CHAR(255) NOT NULL);
Ok. The last line, creating 'description', I want to create 'CHAR' with
'BLOB'
Is it as easy as replacing it with 'BLOB', and if so, do I leave the (255)
out of it, or add the # of char's to be allowed? I want blob so I can have
a text description over 255 characters, basically. But I don't know the
syntax for blob *when creating a column*, and I don't know if I need to
mention in ()'s, the # of characters, like you do with 'char'
How do I use it?
Thanks
Joel
