Best mySQL datatype for wysiwg text editor content

[TechBoyJK]

Hi Guys,

I'm building a simple app, and I want to let people use a WYSIWYG editor (ckeditor).

I'm trying to figure out the best possible mySQL datatype to use. I could get away with varChar, but I'm pretty sure there is better options out there. Blob? Text?

With mySQL you're looking at using TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, or LONGTEXT. Those types offer out-of-row string storage with different character limits (65535, 16777215, and 4294967295, respectively).
