489	[patch] MySQL: TextField => longtext	eugene@…	Adrian Holovaty	"Django maps 'TextField' to MySQL's 'text', which cannot be longer than 64k. I already hit this limit with SQL-based cache. I think that 'longtext' is the better mapping choice. It can be as long as 4G. IMHO, 2 byte size difference is justified in this case.
