Hi,

I need to put a field in a database that will hold a login for the users.
That login is rather long (it's their e-mail address) and of variable length (I can't
change that :-).
I thought of using the text type, but wondered what were the implications in terms of
speed and amount of data (does it use much more space than other character types?)

Thanks for your help.

Raph
