 * Hi,
 * I create a big amount of text in my wordpress blog. For example I want to add
   text wich contains 150 kb in Notepad. I paste it in post and press save. my text
   is gone out. All post is empty and again and again … is the same. My wp_posts
   table in mysql is 980 kb now. I guess that this table don’t accept any posts 
   any more. Is some way to enlarge wp_posts table size?
 * Or it is something else…?
 * P.S. My server is 1000 mb including mysql, and I use 200 mb of them. So I think
   it shouldn’t be free space problem…

 * Wow, that’s a lot of text.
 * Take a look at it with phpMyAdmin, see if there’s some kind of size limit on 
   it. WordPress does not add any specific size limits.
 * You can see if a table has any limits like so (using SQL):
    `SHOW TABLE STATUS
   FROM db_name LIKE 'wp_posts';`
 * phpMyAdmin might display this same info elsewhere. Not sure about that.
 * But in general, table size in MySQL is limited by the file size allowed by the
   operating system. This is a server specific thing, you may need to have your 
   host help you.
