title: What is the best way to store a URL value using MySQL?
body: <p>I was thinking of storing URL values in my database but I know some URL's sometimes get ridiculously long. I think my MySQL Database is Version 5.0.</p>
  
  <p>I was thinking of using. </p>
  
  <pre><code>VARCHAR(255) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but this will only work for so long. So should I use.</p>
  
  <pre><code>TEXT 
  </code></pre>
