two general asp questions

[gcapp]

I have two general asp database questions;

1) If you use a memo datatype in a database table, is there a field size limit of 255 or can it be a big as you would like?

2) Again with a memo field, can you use html tags within that field? So if I want to bold some text within that field, can I put <b></b> in there?

Thanks,
Gary

1) The size limit for 'memo' is 65,535 characters.

2)Yeah you can.

Yup, you can insert just about anything into a database, but just remember to comment out single quotes with another one. I have answered that question so many times I think I will make a sticky thread for it. :)
