Gustavo, I agree that it is a good thing that you don't do this automatically. I had just assumed it since that is what the DB's I've dealt with in the past have done, that is why I clarified. I would like the feature I mentioned, but I am intimate enough with my DB that I will always be aware of the column size, some developers may not. I wasn't saying or trying to imply that you or any of the developers did anything wrong or that the design was bad.
Sorry if it was taken that way.
