I like to know the difference between String vs Text in schema. (Also longText , mediumText)
I'm saving about 2000 characters (as a serialised obj) in a column. which schema should I use?
From what I understand String is a varchar and the text(s) reflect their counterparts (in MySQL at least) MySQL Docs
That's correct. String is varchar 255 and the rest of what elite123 said.
@elite123, @ShawnMcCool : thanks!
In case of storing product description, along with their specification such as Size, weight, colour, I'm saving it as Text. Shouldn't be a problem , right?
If you're not going to have a massive amount of products, then it doesn't really matter. I'd generally consider the size requirements of each individual field while designing the schema.
