Hi all,

If have a requirement to store a longer character string in MySQL.
Unfortunatly the normal CHAR can only handle 255 chars.
I need at approx. 5000. So I need to use the mysql datatype : TEXT.

Unfortunatly DBFORMS does not support this datatype....

Any idea when this will be supported or how I could make a work around ??

use ... fieldType="char" size="65535"... in dbforms-config.xml

then in MySQL specify the type as TEXT.

restart your app server or context and you are done.
