mysql blob problem

Are you sure it says "utf8_general_ci"? In your example code it says "utf8_general_". There is no "ci" part.

Assuming varchar fields work correctly - If you are on MySQL 5.0.3 or later, varchars can be anywhere from 0 to 65,535 characters (prolly more than enough for what you need)
