title: Adding a TEXT field to entity framework model for MySql
body: <p>I'm trying to add a text field to my EDMX file which I have set to generate DDL for MySql. but the only option I have is to add a string with the maximum length set to Max. This is reporting a error when executing the SQL statements against the database, that the maxlength of 4000 is not supported.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried it the other way around, updating the field in the database and than update the EDMX file based on the database, but that sets the field back to a string field with maximum length set to None.</p>
  
  <p>Am I overlooking something? Have anyone used this field?</p>
