You know I need to design a table where some attributes have a data type that allow me to store  text mixed with tables and other information. I use PHP code to get the information and store it in to the database so I wonder if this is posible to do. I found in the link you provided me that  If character varying is used without length specifier, the type accepts strings of any size. So this is useful for me when only text has to be stored but when the user wants to store information mixed with tables like the following :

Sorry, I missed this bit - for binary files you can use the bytea type.
Look under "Binary data types" in the docs.
