--- Comment #6 from Robert Großkopf <robert at familiegrosskopf.de> ---
(In reply to Julien Nabet from comment #5)
> Robert: I took a look at

> mysql-text-data-types/, are you sure it should be "MEMO TEXT" and not "MEMO
> TINYTEXT" ?

The original MySQL/MariaDB datatype is TEXT. If you open the tableeditor in
Base you see Memo[TEXT]. "Memo" is only a description in Base, has nothing to
do with MySQL/MariaDB. TEXT is the type an it will have a maximum of 65525
characters.
TINYTEXT has a maximum of 255 characters.

This bug has been fixed now. The code for creating a table is misleading. Must
be 

CREATE TABLE strtest (d TEXT);

without a defined length. This will work right now with LO 6.3.4.1, fails with
LO 6.2.6.2.

I will set this one to RESOLVED FIXED
