Tom, Size Matters!
varchar(20) takes up less physical disk space than a tinytext, but 20 characters can be a bit limiting when dealing with Indian and Pakistani family names. Id prefer to use 30 characters myself. A blob field can hold binary information ( word documents, images etc). >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/02/05 10:03 am >>> Just wondering... What's better for a name - tinytext or varchar(20) - or doesn't it matter. And what's the difference between a blob field and a text field?
