Question

difference between short text and long text data type

Answer 1

One is called the "Short Text" and the other is called "Long Text." The difference between these two text fields is that additional rows (up to 50) can be provided for the long text field. The short text field can have up to only ten rows. The maximum width for short or long text is 80 characters.

Answer 2

The key difference between short text and long text data type is that the former can hold up to 255 characters while the latter can store up to 65,536 characters.

• The length of a field with this data type is limited to 255 characters, which is determined by field size.  
• It's a good idea to set the field size in accordance with the actual length of the data that will be entered into that field.
• A Long Text field can be useful for storing large amounts of information in a compact and organized manner, such as notes, comments, and descriptions.
• The Long Text data type can store up to 65,536 alphanumeric characters and supports rich text formatting features such as multiple colors, fonts, and highlighting.
