For What It's Worth...
Naturally I followed that link, but was unable to understand (or piece together) the information there in.
Storage Requirements for String Types: (or maximum length of BLOB types for dummies)
Not exactly -- "storage requirements" include the DB overhead characters so, for instance, the max *usable* size of
TINYBLOB (or TINYTEXT) = 1+(2^ 8) = 257 characters
is 255 bytes.
Does that answer my question?
Yep. :-)
For ~1000 characters you'll need a TEXT field.
I think it does, but I am not sure. Seems strange not to have this information at the very begining of the cited page.
I'd have probably put it there in plain English (and numbers) too, but no one asked me :-)
