***BOGO*** TEXT(n)

["Jerry Schwartz" <jschwartz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 5.0 documentation that I have says that you can specify a length for a
TEXT column, and that this will affect the storage space used by the column
data. When I specify TEXT(n), however, n is ignored. It won't be shown in a
SHOW CREATE, nor in any other way.

 

Is this a feature that came and went? Was the documentation wrong? (I
downloaded a compiled Windows help file.)
