Never the less 255 seems enough to me too. does monetDB treat strings as byte sequences? >> the exception is the note: key, which i've quite often wished were >> longer. we now have things like openstreetbugs for some of these, >> though. > > Just introduce an extra table; that stores the <note></note> field? ah, but that would require "blessing" the note tag, or stopping it being a tag. i think a better solution is an separate (or at least independent) database like openstreetbugs which is designed for note-taking and has an API that editors can access. maybe openstreetnotes? cheers, matt _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
