Oh, you did write BLOB in the subject.  BLOB columns hold 64k (minus 2 
bytes for housekeeping), and excess data is discarded, by default:

"If strict SQL mode is not enabled and you assign a value to a BLOB or 
TEXT column that exceeds the column's maximum length, the value is 
truncated to fit and a warning is generated."

Are you sure you *need* to use MySQL ;-)
