vbulletin_datastore - serialized tables

[marisconsul]

Is it possible to prevent vBulletin from storing the forum and usergroup information into the datastore table and read it dynamically from the database?
I really need to bypass this behaviour. Can you please tell me the where I can find the places in vBulletin to change this.


P.s.:
I was talking about MyISAM tables in MySQL. Except TEXT and BLOB (5-9 bytes only go toward the total row size because TEXT and BLOB types don't get stored in the row itself, just a pointer to them.) fields the maximum row size for MyISAM engine is 65535 bytes per row. See the following page:

Thank you.
