Subject: Text = Tinytext = MediumText = LongText?

Hello everyone, hopefully a quick question: is there a functional
difference between the various text field sizes other than size? For
example if I wanted to could I run a FULLTEXT index against a LongText
field?



The collary is of course how good of an idea is this, assuming that MOST
of the data isn't even long enough to fill a text field.





Thanks,

Craig
