I created a database for information to be entered as the client needs it. Mostly on products and such. I thought that 255 would be enough characters for the description of the items, but I was wrong. I have information stored in the database, and I need to keep it there (or back it all up...). What should I change the parameter to for more text than 255? Text? Will I harm the database as it is when I change this?

Thanks in advance!

it shouldnt effect your database and i would recomend changing it to a "text" type column.

before you make any changes to your database alwasy take a abckup because sometimes even the simplist things can go wrong

All went smooth. Thanks!

no problem
