In my case, I'd just settle for a workable BLOB/LONGBLOB. I think counting
types is less interesting than meeting ones needs. They "redefine" types
like BLOB as LONGVARBINARY and TEXT as LONGVARCHAR, but does that add two
types? Anyway, blobs are prettys standard for sql, and that's what I'm
looking to have work for me.
