It's my understanding that if you create, say, a varchar(255) field in a table, you can still add 256+ characters to it; the field will expand depending on need.
However, when does this "dynamic expansion start to break down? A thousand characters? A million?
We're debating whether to make a field of ours a blob or varchar, and this is one of the factors we'll take into account. Thanks for the advice.
