Stuck in the 80s
[Resolved] MySQL: TINYTEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGTEXT...
What's the difference, besides size, in all of these? Is there any drawbacks to using them?
If I know that a field will never have more than 500 characters, should I then use MEDIUMTEXT? Would it use up more memory to just go with TEXT?
In fact, what are the sizes? I think TINYTEXT is 255. If so, what's the difference between that and VARCHAR (since it can go up to 255).
