I don't think there are any limits inherent to the database but if you are putting the data into the database via a web browser then yet there are limits. And unfortunately they vary from browser to browser.Each browser has a hard limit to the number of characters that can be sent via a form via GET or POST. A form sent via GET has a very small limit of approximately 256-1024 characters.I don't have hard numbers on a form used with a POST but I've encountered the limit before. Your form ends up getting truncated at the limit.But if you aren't populating the database via a browser then there should be no limit.Hope that helps,-- Sam LewisSamLewis.com Tel: 626-852-0956 Fax: 916-404-5698------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
