I can't get my column with text as the datatype, to save more than 10 characters.

Brett Friskyfritter, unknown unknown,


I'm sorry for this.  I am creating a site with linux - MySQL - Cold 
Fusion.  Cold Fusion lets you do updates and inserts like this:
<cfinsert datasource="mysource" tablename="mytable">
This snippet of code takes everything from your form fields and creates 
a new record.
It works on MS SQL and Access but it seems not be working on 
Linux/MySQL.  Sorry for the inconvience.  Maybe it will help the next 
guy migrating from MS to Linux.
