Store large Strings in a DB field
Hello,
I have a quick and easy question. I'm not sure if I'm just not understanding it right, but there seems to be a maximum length of how long a string can be in the database field. What if I want to store a very long string? Does this mean that if I have it set as an array as well, it only allows a maximum of data in the array?
I hope this makes sense, thank you! π
TL;DR
- Developer wants to store a very long string in a database field.
- Worried about maximum length limitation.
- Wondering if setting the field as an array would allow for more data.
Solution: Consider using a BLOB (Binary Large OBject) data type instead of a conventional string field to store large strings in the database.
