List members,
Postresql, mySQL, and SQL Sever all have a 'TEXT' field type.
This type of field is bascially for free form text entry of
undertermined length. What would the best
equivalent for IB/Phoenix be? A large varchar? i.e. varchar(3200)?
a bLOb SUB_TYPE TEXT?
The "problem" i see with blobs is the extra
work to insert them etc.
Any opinions greatly appreciated.
