I found this: Values in VARCHAR columns are variable-length strings. The length can be specified as 1 to 255 before MySQL 4.0.2, 0 to 255 as of MySQL 4.0.2, and 0 to 65,535 as of MySQL 5.0.3. (The maximum actual length of a VARCHAR in MySQL 5.0 is determined by the maximum row size and the character set you use. The maximum effective length is 65,532 bytes.)
But its not really an issue, I just wanted to have bigger values for something, but its not really required. So, to upgrade do # cat docs/upgrade/mysql/jffnms-0.8.2-to-0.8.3.mysql.diff* | grep -v 3000 I'll update it for the new release. Thanks for reporting.
