Hey dlc,
Have you checked your collation type for the columns in MySQL? We had a similar issue with a site we developed and found that if we changed them all from latin1_swedish_ci to utf8_general_ci that made the difference.
Good luck!

Hello, I’m getting this error on a brand new install of WordPress; I’ve tried the various conversions or UTF8, and I still keep getting an error when I try to import the RSS feed from my old website:
WordPress database error Data too long for column 'post_content'
I’ve checked and double checked the settings in MySql and I just don’t see any reason for a LONGTEXT field to choke on the length of the text being entered… it’s not really all that long, it is in plain english, and I even tried stripping all of the HTML from it, all to no avail.
Anybody have any idea why this is choking?
Any ideas appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
–Jon
I am also having this problem.
I thought I had fixed by the deactivating all plugins and then reactivating, but apparently not. It worked on one of my test posts, but not on another.
Changing from latin1_swedish_ci to utf8_general_ci solved the issue for me.
