title: MySQL data type: Text,,, Erroring: Data Too Long
body: <p>I have a field as follows in MySQL:
  Type: Text
  Length: 0
  Decimals: 0</p>
  
  <p>And when I try to insert data around the size of 4 pages of MS Word, Coldfusion errors with: Data Too Long from the DB. </p>
  
  <p>I thought TEXT data type was able to expand and handle this size of data? What am I missing and what can I do?</p>
