Description
Storage for large text values. While the theoretical limit on the
size of the text that can be stored in a LONGTEXT
column exceeds 4 GB, the practical limit is much less due to
limitations of the MySQL communication protocol and the amount of
memory available on both the client and server ends of the
communication.
