Robb, You'll need a TEXT field, to be sure you pick the right field check http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/o/Column_types.html Best regards, MvG, Maarten Verheijen T/EXP kamernummer C558 Telefoonummer 4559 >>> "Robb Meade" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03-04-01 08:31 >>> Hi all Not sure if I'm sending my emails to the correct address here, as I havent had a reply, or even seen my own email ? :o/ Anyway... I need to store the 'news' which goes onto a web page in a database, I was going to use the VARCHAR field type but it can only store 255 characters - which isnt enough - someone in a NG suggested the 'Memo' type, but that isnt supported by MySQL it appears - so could someone kindly tell me which I should use? It will be storing, letters, numbers, and special characters - and WILL need to be searchable, and have a high storage size.. Thanks in advance for any help :) Robb Meade GoofyMouse Designs www.goofymouse.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
