Does BLOB=Memo?

[Jesse Castleberry]

I'm a bit new to MySQL.  I need to create a Memo field (a field that could
contain a lot of information).  I know that in some languages, BLOB is a
Memo field.  Is that the case with MySQL?  If so, are there some parameters
that I need to use here, or should I use another type to represent my Memo
field?

Thanks,
Jesse
