I'm going to guess that max_allowed_packet is set to 64K. Thereby limiting the size of blob that you can read or set. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/blob.html for details. If you need only a small amount more, you could compress the string in memory before storing it and reverse that the other way. If you need a lot more, then you're going to have to do some real work, sorry. Cheers, Ben
