Newbie question that maybe should belong in a mysql group, but how and why
does a varchar fragment a dbase?

The problem is that he assigned a length to a TEXT field. You cannot do
that.

Worked like a charm, thanks.
How do I avoid varchar if I the size of the text will vary with each entry?
It's going to be a pretty small database anyway so I'm not that worried,
but how often do I optimize the table to avoid fragmentation?

I don't think you can use text(50),
It should be one of the following tinytext, mediumtext or text
Or you should use char(50).
I would try to avoid using varchar() it fragments the database.
