This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1998
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 16733
interpreted = N
texte = Is there a limit to the number of characters for any one field in a database?I'm in the process of creating a story upload database to allow our editors to post stories on our web site. In my testing, all of the stories have been short. But knowing some of my editors, if there is a limit, they will reach it.If there is a limit, my guess would be to create mutliple fields for different sections of the article. Or is there another way?Mark-------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Anderson There's nothing to fear ...
