I will say thought that "CLOB" makes far less sense as a name then

If we could get field working without the row[] bits, I would be very

I think the quest for SQL standards is one thing that has gotten MySQL
in trouble in recent years. I had to deal with it today in fact and it
pissed me off to no end.
