Can anyone explain what this means??

(The maximum effective length of a VARCHAR in MySQL 5.0.3 and later is
determined by the maximum row size and the character set used. The maximum
column length is subject to a row size of 65,532 bytes.)

If I'm using the Latin1 character set, how large can my VARCHAR column be in
length? Is there a page to reference in the documentation?
