No, check this page:

You can use maybe VARCHAR or VARBINARY instead of the TEXT or BLOB field. For VARHCHAR and VARBINARY you can specify a length of 4096 if you want. Example:
MYSTRING VARCHAR(4096);. But pay attention that, as the manual says:So if you use a lot of large columns, you must be sure to stay under the 64k limit for a row
