MySql SP - Data too long error

I have created a SP in MySql, where an input parameter ha开发者_C百科ve longText type.

I want to pass 12,000 characters into that sp. But it gives me an error - "Data too long for column 'inputParam' at row 1".

Can someone help me?

set @s = '5,14,16,20,34,38,39,41,45,53,59,61,63,....');

call foo(@s);

Well the TEXT type for mysql can contain a maximum length of 4,294,967,295 chars. So passing in 12,000 chars into a type LONGTEXT should definitely work. There must be something else wrong with your statement. Could You please post your SP and the call you are making to it?
