Of course, I realize, that "unlimited" is just theory. Perhaps I should write: "with no formal limit set" rather. So, I was just wondering, whether (or not) there is a noticeable difference when operating on - let's say - VARCHAR(255), rather than on just TEXT. Never made such measurements by myself. -- pozdrawiam / regards Zbigniew Baniewski ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
