At http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/BLOB.html you can read about the BLOB
and TEXT column types.

As you can see in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Storage_requirements.html there are
several variations which can each hold a different amount of data:
TINYTEXT: 2^8 chars (256)
TEXT : 2^16 (65,536)
MEDIUMTEXT : 2^24 (16,777,216)
LONGTEXT : 2^32 (4,294,967,296)

More than enough for your purposes I gues ;-)
