What is the difference in using a very large VARCHAR
field or using a LONGTEXT
field? At which point, would it be advantageous to start using a LONGTEXT
over VARCHAR
?

Once you are past about 512 characters, there is no practical difference between VARCHAR
and TEXT
. (TEXT
gives you a max of 64K.)
