Hi Jacopo,I agree that the field length should be equal on every database to avoid migration problems if you change the database.
So +1.

Hi all, in rev. 1530237 the sql type for Postgres for "comments" and "description" fields was changed from VARCHAR(255) to TEXT: https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/changelog/ofbiz/?cs=1530237 The original contribution and discussion can be found here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1920 However I don't think it was a good idea and I suggest to change the types back to VARCHAR(255) because the new TEXT type allows strings of any length; all other types definitions (MySQL, Derby etc...) are using VARCHAR(255) thus limiting the length of "comments" and "description" fields to 255 characters and now Postgres is the only one that is different. In my opinion we should set postgres to VARCHAR(255) too until we will decide to change the size for all the dbs. Any objections? Kind regards, Jacopo
