Is there a way to limit the field type TEXT to only store up to 1000 chars? or is it something that you can limit in your script when storing data?

Field Type To Store Text With Commas
I need to change my field type to allow for commas in the field name. So I tried to change my text from "varchar" to "text". However, I am getting this error: #1170 - BLOB/TEXT column 'title' used in key specification without a key length Can anybody tell me if text is the right type to use? If so why isn't my database allowing me to make this change?

Default For The Type SET
I've created a database with a field of the type SET. Something like this: SET('choice1','choice2','choice3'). The default choice is the empty ('') string. Do I have to also define the empty string in the set like this SET('choice1','choice2','choice3','') or is this not necessary?

Field Type :: Time Field With Decimal
I want to add times into a field in the form mm:ss.d such as 03:33.5 but when I use the time type it removes the decimal but I really need it to keep it in. At the moment I am using a char(10) type and converting it in my scripts. Is there a way I can add it in using the correct type? I couldn't see anything in the documentation on the time type except that you could enter it in the form I want but it will convert it.

Text Data Type
Just how big a file can the Text data type contain (in kilobytes or Megabytes)? How big a file can a MediumText data type contain (in kilobytes or Megabytes)? 'Text' = 64 KB 'Mediumtext' = 16384 KB = 16 MB There are a few bytes needed to store information about the field itself.

Text Type Records
I posted this problem in another forum and nobody seems to know how I might go about solving it. I have a number of records stored in a database and I've enabled full-text indexing and have indexed the columns that have the text types in them. I am able to do selections with contains(subject, '<keywords>') and freetext(subject, '<keywords>'). What I would like to do now is add a little functionality to my search engine program (oh yes-I use a java applet to connect to my db with JDBC) so that I can select a record that is returned by one of my keyword searches and search the rest of the stored records for similar records. I suspect this can be done using the indexing features but I am not sure where I can go to find information on how to do this (I'm also not 100% convinced that it can be done with indexing)

When i want to add BLOB type column in table - that mistake appears: #1101 - BLOB/TEXT column 'data' can't have a default value I turned off strict mode (from my.ini, or by config wizard), but it did not help. I've found alot about that problem in that site, but i dont uderstand anything, because im just Newbie. So what should i do to make BLOB/TEXT column have a default value? Is it possible without using hard way, just by changing something, or download any new version?

Null And The Text Data Type
Why do we use null values? Why is it better than an empty field? What would be a real life situation were nulls are important to have? If I have a paragraph of text in a field of data type: TEXT. Can I search in this field? Maybe i mean, could i use SELECT on a table and get rows on the basis of a string or substring in the TEXT field?

Size Of TEXT Data Type.
How big is the TEXT datatype by default? 0 bytes? I.e. if you declare a column to be of type TEXT but do not populate that column in a given row, will it then occupy 0 bytes of memory in that row? (if it defaults to NULL). For that matter, will any column occupy 0 bytes of memory in any given row in which that column is not populated and where that column default to NULL? (I am thinking in terms of C/C++ where a pointer does not point to anything unless memory is explicitly allocated and referenced to it).

Text, Ntext, Or Image Data Type
I have you use the DISTINCT in my sql select statement. here is what I did: Set RS=Condata.Execute("SELECT DISTINCT course,title,Name,CRhr,inst_type,COU_DESC,long_desc FROM schedule WHERE subj='" & tsubj & "' ORDER BY course,title") I got the error: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80040E14) The text, ntext, or image data type cannot be selected as DISTINCT. There is a field, Cou_Desc, uses Ntext datatype. If I change this field to Varchar then asp app works fine. The problem that if I change this field datatype, then something else will not work.The question is: Is there a way to make the sql statement works without changing the field datatype?

MYSQL VARCHAR(5000) Vs.TEXT Data Type
I notices that the MYSQL folks define a varchar as being able to only store up to 255 characters. Obviously there must have been a change because I was able to create a Varchar(5000) data type and store information in it. Can someone verify that the varchar data type was altered and what are the performance impact of using a Varchar(5000) vs. a TEXT dataype. my assumption is that using this Varchar(5000) datatype would be more efficient but you never know...

Setting DEFAULT Value After Creation Of Field
I've been searching all over w3schools to no avail. I have a column whos domain is varchar(6). I want to set the default value to 'active'. I already have a whole lot of values in there. Some are 'active', some are 'closed'. I just figured it would be nice to have a default value in case someone added an entity and didn't specify this particular field. So, how do I set the default value for a column after I've already created and populated the dbase? And are there any better resources on the web than w3schools?

Update All Instances Of A Field To Default Value
Is there a statement or way in MySQL to update a several fields in a database to the default value? Basically reseting the value with out deleting it. I can go through an manually do that by looking at the number and manually setting it to that but it would be easier to just say: Update table set field=default That didn't work but that's what I'm trying to do. While at it is there any easy way to do it with PHPMYADMIN which is what I manage my DB's with.

Not Able Give Default Value For DATE Field
I would like to specify a default value for "DATE" datatype as a system date. But i could find from the help tutorial, "default value cannot be added for a DATE datatype". But i could specify in Oracle. I have found below statment from the help documents. "The DEFAULT value clause in a data type specification indicates a default value for a column. With one exception, the default value must be a constant; it cannot be a function or an expression. This means, for example, that you cannot set the default for a date column to be the value of a function such as NOW() or CURRENT_DATE. The exception is that you can specify CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the default for a TIMESTAMP column." Why cant we use a functions or variable values in date? Is this the limitation or didnot explore this functionality yet? Is this limitation applicable for only DATE type or any other datatypes? I have such a situation to use this "default" feature for a date column with value as system date. is there a way to do that?

TIME Field Type
Within PHP I have the time data of 01:32 or 1:32 - this refers to a mm:ss / m:ss format. My MySQL Field type is a TIME field - I require it to be a time format so I can perform functions upon the row. The time format is 00:00:00 (hh:mm:ss) - is there any way of having the field correspond with my format, or is there a way of converting it upon entry. If not it means I'll have to use string functions in PHP to convert the data into the neccessary format - which frankly is a pain the ***. Then again, I'm confident there's a solution available in MySQL, and I'm uber-confident that you guys will be the people to ask too.
