mysql 无限长度,如何将varchar设置为无限长度？

In a MySQL database, how would I set a varchar to have unlimited length, so that I can store long web pages? IF not , then what is the Maximum Size?

I know about Text Types to store larger strings. Is there any limitations on using test data type which i have to handle?

VARCHAR can store upto 255 chars before MySQL 5.0.3 and 65,535 chars in 5.0.3 and later versions.

To store large data in Mysql database you can use

TEXT , MEDIUMTEXT , LONGTEXT

TEXT can store 65,535 characters (approx 64KB)

MEDIUMTEXT = 16,777,215 characters (approx 16 MB)

LONGTEXT = 4,294,967,295 chars (approx 4GB)
