Description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/storage-requirements.html says

"The maximum size of a row in a MySQL table is 65,535 bytes. Each BLOB and TEXT column accounts for only nine to twelve bytes toward this size. This limitation may be shared by other storage engines as well. "

I think it means MyISAM, not MySQL.
