I am saving a raw email in a TEXT column in MySQL with Ruby on Rails. It keeps getting truncated to 65535 characters, does anyone know what causes this?
MySQL is running with max_allowed_packet=64M
Using InnoDB for the storage engine.
It gets truncated to that length because… well, that’s what will fit in a TEXT column.
You need MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT if you want to store more than that.
