Hey all,
I had a small question concerning how MySQL stores text and longtext fields.
Long story short, I have to store a large amount of "textual" data, and was
wondering if I should compress said data and then store it in the db, or
does MySQL already concern itself with compression (which would make it
pointless to pre-compress). Thank you
