I am having difficulty storing more than 64000 in a column defined as mediumtext

  • 0

I am having difficulty storing more than 64000 in a column defined as mediumtext within mysql. I ran into this limitation with the text datatype earlier and decided to drop the column and recreate it as a mediumtext field. Trouble is, my data is getting truncated at 64000 bytes.

I did double check that the field is now a medium text field. The best I can tell, you don’t have to specify the length when creating the column like you would with a varchar field.

Any ideas why this would be limited to 64000 and how to change it?

    There’s an option in the CF Admin datasource advanced section to set the maximum column size, and it defaults to 64000, so it seems very likely this is your problem.

    If you don’t have access to CF Administrator yourself, you’ll need to contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase it for you.
