I hadn't tried the TEXT type. It works as far as not throwing any exceptions, I'm trying to look at the moved data now to see if it is correct. I also tried the encode() on each dictionary value that I was having trouble with, and it also worked without throwing exceptions. I could still see a bunch of backslashes in the moved data, though, so something's still not correct there.
Thanks for the tips, I'll play with it some more. I had seen the TEXT type before, but when I saw that it subclassed String, I didn't think it would be useful to me. Now I realize that the size constraints are a factor as well.
