Text type is nothing special. You just use

INSERT INTO TEST (id, data1)
VALUES ( 12345, 'This is the text I wanted to Enter' );

and

UPDATE TEST
SET data1 = 'This is the new text I wanted to Enter';

That's all there is to it. Put the text within single quoute. Escape single
quotes within the text by doubling them ('' instead of '). The text may
include newlines and everything:

INSERT INTO TESTE (id, data1)
VALUES (
123456,
'This is a three-line
text field
within the table' );

Just remember not to pass the maximum row size, which I believe is still 8k
for all the fields together.
