Have you tried searching the manual?

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Column_types.html lists all the different
datatypes supported by MySQL. One of them will likely meet your needs. You
haven't specified what kind of data you want to store in this field so it is
hard to guide you any further.

I assume you DO NOT mean that the column will have no limit *at all* on the
size of the data; I've never heard of any database that would allow a column
to have *infinite* capacity. However, you can give a column a very large
capacity without necessarily using up all of the capacity. For instance, a
LONGBLOB or LONGTEXT column can hold up to 4GB of data per row but you can
store much less in the field if your value is smaller.
