i want to change 8000 content character limitation.i try that by change db/maxima.php definitions.but not work(just remove "8000 character limitation error message" and cut the content automatically)

next i try to change database qa_post:content but if i increase 8000 to more than 20000 it change automatic VARCHAR to "mediumtext" type.

i need more than 20000.how can get that?
