I'm back-tracking on using BLOB fields despite PHP's suggestion. It would break Composr compatibility quite a bit, and it is not uniform across databases. SERIAL should use longtext.

We also do not have input validation software-side for database data. So we cannot use unserialize / serialize automatically. Just keep it simple; SERIAL is an alias of LONG_TEXT and, for now, only has special meaning within privacy.
