I have a field that is an actual Mysql Text column,
aka like a blob. I'm wondering if doing a standard
validation that checks for characters outside of the
alphanumeric range is enough. I'm imagining some
users will cut and paste from a Word or PDF doc into
the field. I've done it myself and no weird characters
are showing up.
Any thoughts ?
