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?
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.
Thank you!!
