Re: Capturing a sql query

Right, and it is storing more then I need. After running it a few times, I decided to see what happens if someone chose every parameter possible. What I found is that even if I just saved the keywords, I'd still need to use mediumtext. In mysql, there doesn't seem to be anything between varchar or tinytext and medium. Which from a naming convention makes sense. From the specifics (tinytext - 255 chars, mediumtext - 16,000)is a big hit to upgrade too just for maybe at maxium 500 characters (I didn't count) I just mention this since I think tablespace is increased when using mediumtext. So maybe, after everything is factored it's not going to be a huge difference in storage. ?
