be java.lang.Integer.MAX_VALUE long
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-5235
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5235
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 10.9.0.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
The original Cloudscape limit for the length of VARCHAR values was
java.lang.Integer.MAX_VALUE. That is the limit in Cloudscape 5.1. Nothing in
Derby should break if we restore the original limit. The current limit is an
artificial bound introduced to make Derby agree with DB2. 32672 is the upper
bound on the length of a DB2 VARCHAR:
