Question

I have column named “summary” (tinytext, utf8_turkish_ci). I know it can store 255 byte also 255 chars. But if i use unicode chars like Ç, Ö, Ü storage capacitiy naturally decreasing. If my visitor enter 250 chars long unicode text then last chars are erasing. My summary column will be always 250 chars long. What can i do ? Thanks.

Answer 1

You could turn it into a varchar instead. The length of a varchar is limited to the number of characters you specify. The length of a tinytext field is limited to 255 bytes.
