The longblob Issue

I was working on a recent project and noticed that the content was cut short, and the bottom weblink was not appearing. After awhile of adding new content, I noticed that this content was not updating entirely. I was dumbfounded. After messing around with the database for awhile; I noticed that the type for the field “content” in “content pages” was marked as text. Only allowing a certain number of characters for each entry. I switched the field type to longblob; and, like a wizard waving his wand, everything was fixed.

My only thought is that this database setting may have changed when I updated to t3.  I will make certain to edit this database entry each time I update a site, considering most of the content entries are far greater than 65535 characters.
