Let the engine decide via varchar(max)
By using VARCHAR(MAX) you are basically telling SQL Server "store the
values in this field how you see best", SQL Server will then choose
whether
to store values as a regular VARCHAR or as a LOB (Large object). *In
general if the values stored are less than 8,000 bytes SQL Server will
treat values as a regular VARCHAR type.*
I'm using MariaDB (MySQL). Not sure it has a varchar(MAX).
