If I intend to use Rich Text for a field in an application, what type of formatting should the field have in the database? Would a Varchar(4,000) work for example?

Can you say anything more about your use case? Are you talking about the out-of-box Rich Text Display? Or the plug-in for Rich Text Entry? What are your requirements - how much data do you intend to allow users to enter / what would the typical and/or max lengths be?
I'm using the Avanced Rich Text Editor from Vuram. I need to have a large description field where the user can enter text, images or create tables. I need to know that would the field format be in the database?
Thank you for replying so quickly.
Not having used it very recently, my assumption is that it saves HTML-coded plaintext - in that case you should be fine using varchar in the DB, with a sufficient size to allow users to enter as much text (counting html tags) as you want.
VARCHAR only supports up to 4000 characters, Synced records also limit to 4000 characters, You will have to use a non-synced record and one of the "TEXT" field types.
Thank you!!
