Im using VB.NET to write an application for awarding scholarship. Currently Im using MS Access database, but I read that in Access you can only store texts up to 256 characters. Whats the best way for me to store more than one or two paragraphs of texts? Should I write to a text file and make reference in the Access database to load that particular file or should I use different database? If I use different database besides MS Access, what database should I be using that will give me more than 256 characters limitation? I have MySQL, MS SQL Server, and perhaps Oracle.

Thanks for trying to help.
