Changing maximum description length

[Spiderman32]

I'm importing some existing data, and the descriptions are getting truncated.

PLD_LINK DESCRIPTION is VARCHAR(255) - what happens if I change that to TEXT 350 ? Will it break anything?

I believe 255 is the maximum value for VARCHAR. You will probably need to change the type to TEXT. There may be some other considerations too. Try searching for VARCHAR in the forums and see what you can find.

Thanks - I guess I searched for the wrong things - that seems to point me to answers
