> When creating columns of type LONG VARCHAR or LONG VARCHAR FOR BIT DATA, you 
> are not allowed to specify the maximum length of the data. The current 
> wording in the reference manual may be read as that you can set the maximum 
> length, but that you don't have to. We should state that specifying the 
> length is not allowed for these two data types.
> From https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=286206 :
> The Derby manual I referred to said "you do not have to specify a maximum
> length when creating columns of this type". What they actually meant is "you
> cannot specify a maximum length"!
