Re: Column Type help

[Brent Baisley]

I'm actually doing the same thing. I settled on using TEXT, which allows 
you to store a little over 65,000 bytes. Any resume longer than 65,000 
characters really needs to be made shorter since that works out to 
probably about 20 pages.

As an aside, I don't know which version of MySQL you are using, but the 
full text indexing is very much improved in version 4.

Hey there, I'm kinda new to using mysql to its full potential and I was
wondering something. I want to store resume information, but I just want
the  user to cut and paste the resume in the "Resume" field and then 
store
all that in one column in the table. Which table type should I use for
this? Longtext?

TIA
