Indeed, I had been confused by this documentation excerpt ([1]): "CharField.max_length: The maximum length (in characters) of the field. The max_length is enforced at the database level and in Django's validation."
Now your clear and quick explanation makes sense. Fortunately most of my data is validated through forms, so I only have to be cautious about my own manipulations of models. Thanks a lot.
