I'm creating a guestbook, and the messages will be saved in a database. But as I don't know how long the visitors message will be so I can't set a limit for VARCHAR. I'd like to have it as unlimited, how do I set it?
mysql_query ("create table news(date VARCHAR(20), sender VARCHAR(100), topic VARCHAR(50), msg VARCHAR(unlimited)") or die("err... wont work");

FYI - This belongs in the mysql forum...
The 'unlimited VARCHAR' type in MySQL is a TEXT column, and there are also different kinds of those available. For more info, see the manual.

Ok, thank you.
Sorry for posting it on the wrong section, honestly I tried to look for a MySQL section but didn't see it. Heheh, see it now
