*Tags*: symfony schema data types
Symfony understands the usual column types: boolean, integer, float, date, varchar(size), longvarchar (converted, for instance, to text in MySQL), and so on. For text content over 256 characters, you need to use the longvarchar type, which has no size (but cannot exceed 65KB in MySQL).
