# text

fun text(name: String, collate: String? = null, eagerLoading: Boolean = false): Column<String>

Creates a character column, with the specified name, for storing strings of arbitrary length using the specified collate type. If no collated type is specified, then the database default is used.

Some database drivers do not load text content immediately (for performance and memory reasons), which means that you can obtain column value only within the open transaction. If you desire to make content available outside the transaction use eagerLoading param.
