Hello,

I would like to save sentences of a text as elements of database. 255
characters (available in type char) should be not enough. And I have
decided to use either type text or tinytext or mediumtext or longtext.
However I do not know how many symbols I can use in each of these types
and as a consequence I cannot choose among these types. I found that
  ·TINYTEXT: small text,
  ·TEXT: slightly longer text,
  ·MEDIUMTEXT: medium size text,
  ·LONGTEXT: really long text.
But I do not know what it means "tinytext", or "longtext". I
found also size of these types (for example mediumtext - 2^24-1
bites). However it also does not help, because I need number of
symbols. Can anybody help me?
