title: MediumBlob in Laravel database schema
body: <p>How can I create a <code>Mediumblob</code> within the Laravel schema builder ?</p>
  
  <p>In the docs it says :</p>
  
  <pre><code>$table-&gt;binary('data'); // BLOB equivalent to the table
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I need a MediumBlob otherwise the images get truncated at 64K; we are running MySQL.</p>
  
  <p>I know that Laravel's schema builder is DB agnostic, but is there a way to avoid the "native way" and if not how can i create a <code>Mediumblob</code> column ?</p>
