Hi,
Currently I am developing some component to help students log their progress.
I am adding functionilty to add a snapshot, which is a filtered list of records, saved as json.
In another component which reads ships from a webservice I alos come across this missing feature:
When adding a text of json field, the DB is created as TEXT.
But as you can imagine, a lot of text or a long list of jsonobejcts is larger then the 64 Kilobytes of of TEXT field.
In MySQL there are also the MEDIUMTEXT (16MB) and LONGTEXT (4 GB)
Also for creating a long blog entry TEXT might be too small.
Is is possible to create a feature when adding a text of json field, the mysql field type can be configured?
Like in the properties dialog in the builder, where you set if the field is required and such.
I do it now in an update post install script, but I'd rather have a little as possible customizing.
