I am finishing up a chat room that uses a mySQL database. I figured I could stored the messages as TEXT datatypes. However, the TEXT datatype length is 65535 bytes, so I cannt append anymore data after that limit is reached.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the limit OR possibly a beter way to store the message data?
