question about textarea

hi

i am planning to use a feedback form on the website for users to send their feedback. apart from a few textfields i want to use a textarea where the user will enter their feedback. since the feedback could be long at times, in the database i will define this field as long datatype

my question is

1.
i will define the field in the table as ex: comments longtext, is this correct

2.
also since the comments can be very long are there any potential issues in the data being inserted into mysql database. will the entire data be captured or only a portion of it

3.
will all the comments be captured in the excel sheet when exporting the table as an excel sheet.

please advice.

waiting for reply.

1. LONGTEXT can be of maximum length of 4,294,967,295 or 4GB. Do you need so big storage for just one feedback? TEXT (65,535 characters) type should be sufficient.

2. If you are using TEXT datatype for example, it will save the data upto 65,535 characters and discard the rest of the data.

3. Excel is limited to 65,536 rows of data and 256 columns per worksheet.
