Stop being a dickhead and/or troll. This is a newsgroup, not a
"network"; the regulars here know "how to use" it. If you can't even
be arsed to look in the manual for the tool you're using, then what
sort of response do you expect? You were pointed to the exact location
to find the information you needed; why are you complaining?
You want to "advance your knowledge"? The best way to do that is to
learn how to find the information yourself. Newsgroups are here to
help, but not here to spoon feed you facts which are in the obvious
place (MySQL -> manual -> data types). Even if you couldn't work that
out (which is fair enough if you're new to this), then the least you
could've tried is run a search for "longtext" on the MySQL docs page
(or even on Google, which would've got you the answer pretty quickly).
Failing that, reading through sections of the manual is how people find
stuff out.
P.S. The twattish "annoyances" law doesn't apply to me, I'm in the UK.
