Thanks for providing a nice and simple reference.

I like to think I am an adept coder, but I always turn to Google for reference – I was looking for the optimal method to store a Unix timestamp and found the answer here.

I am now wondering if my code will still be in use after the 19th January 2038 and your explanation of MySQL Dates has given me food for thought.

Hi Sathish. You can store multi-line text in a column that uses the text data type.

It may also be possible to store multi-line text in a varchar column if you inserted the appropriate line break characters, but I’ve never tried that.
