    Well, you looked at Data Types and decided on what? -1 for no apparent research. Commented Aug 10, 2011 at 15:42

    special characters don't have any influence on the chosen datatype. use proper escaping and you should be set. Commented Aug 10, 2011 at 15:45

Use a TEXT column, if there is to be more than just a few characters of code stored.

Use TEXT .. but if you ever want to use eval(), rethink about storing code in db..
