Infinite Length Field

[lavarock09]

How do I make a field in mySQL that can have unlimited characters of any kind?

There are length limits on everything. You might want to read what the manual says here (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-type-overview.html).

I have to ask this: What are you trying to do that you would want to create a field with an infinite length? There is probably a way of designing your database so that an infinite length field would be unnecessary.

It is very hard to make such a field especially whan your storage device has limited storage space.
