title: Data Types in Ecto - "value too long for type character varying(255)"
body: <blockquote>
    <p>ERROR 22001 (string_data_right_truncation): value too long for type
    character varying(255)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I understand (and assumed) that a string would be limited to a certain number of characters; however, I am not sure what type would be best for this scenario.</p>
  
  <p>What type should I be using for a 'content' section of a blog in Phoenix framework?</p>
  
  <p>The data will be paragraphs of text and cannot be limited in size. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
