Ahhh, bummer, found the problem.
Indirectly you gave me the answer.
There are no limitations in SQLite on the length of a Varchar, so by
using the SQLite manager, it is possible to fill the field with a long text.
But the problem appears to be the interpretation of the field by Zeos
(and probably other db libraries) as the field is truncated.
Changing the field to text instead of varchar changes the behaviour of
Zeos, as the field now is seen as a memo field.
Tnx
