About to migrate :string but I'm thinking :text might be better. Performance/Purpose?

class CreateScrapes < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :scrapes do |t|
t.text :saved_characters
t.text :sanitized_characters
t.string :href
t.timestamps
end
end
def self.down
drop_table :scrapes
end
end
I'm about to rake db:migrate and I'm think about the attribute type if I should be using text or string. Since saved_characters and sanitized_characters will be arrays with thousands of unicode values, its basically comma delimited data, I'm not sure if `:text' is really the right way to go here. What would you do?
