Editing Max Length for a field past 5000 - How?
Hello,

I have tried to edit the max length for the description field to go past 5000 but it won't let me.

Anyone know how I can do this?

Nevermind I figured it out. I will post how just in case anyone else was looking to do the same:

In DBDQL.pm find:
Code:
# Text or BLOB fields.
elsif ($type =~ /text|blob/) {
$type = 'CHAR';
$size = '5000000';
$fsize = '40x3';
$val = '';
}

You can adjust those settings there.

These are just the defaults. You should be able to go to Table Maintenance->Links->Description and change max length to something higher if 5,000 is not big enough.

Cheers,
