  1. I'm just using Excel as example but I'm actually using mysql. How would a long article appear in a mysql database? How can it be stored to you can still easily view the databse?
  2. No what I mean is how is a full article going to be stored in the database? For example if you have data such as username, author, password, category etc in the fields that is not a problem because that kind of information is only going to be short. No more 15 characters long generally but how can a full 1000 or 2000 word article be stored in one field of the database in the "article field"? For example you can put small bits of data in an excel spreadsheet and slighlty expand or contract the cells and it works fine but putting a whole article in one cell is not going to make for easy viewing.
  3. I am trying to create a dynamic news site where people can write and post articles. However I'm not quite sure how and where to actually store the articles. Ideally what I would like to do is input the articles in a database but if the article is 1000 words long I'm not quite how it would be stored. So an example of the table could be: ID, Name, Article, Date, Time. Any ideas?
