Note to self:

We must dynamically infer the row size by finding the max data size in that column.
So the varchar_limit the user specifies must only be used to decide when to switch from varchar to text.

[Arpan-Kreeti]

Also this can be an enhancement but if row size exceeds max MySQL row size length then maybe changes few varchars to text?

[Arpan-Kreeti]

The empty columns should be like varchar(1) to avoid this
