I guess there is no 64 bit version - mia culpa. The problem I'm having is when I try to write 250 characters to a corresponding varchar(250) table, the INSERT INTO fails to write any of the data to the table. An echo shows the data made it that far but upon running a query or examination of the table, the data's not there. Interestingly, if I drop 100 characters so the entry is down to say, 150 characters, it writes successfully. This is so weird but really frustrating.
