The generic SQL command to do this is:

|ALTER  TABLE  `tableName`CHANGE  COLUMN  `columnName`  |||`columnName`|  
VARCHAR(size);
|

Untitled It won't affect existing data if you are growing the field size. If you shrink it will truncate.

Kind regards

Ah thanks Tom ... prims can actually be varchar(255) according to my schema and I now wonder if the assets "name" field should also be varchar(64), as it is for Openvue grid just now, or something else?

I see that prims and primitems have varchar(255) for both the name and description which seems odd as I would think all these should be the same?

I created a fresh data base for Openvue for a new server setup as recently as May 2013 and loaded content back in then via OARS and IARs rather than a SQL backup. So I wonder how I got the varchar(64) description and if anyone else has the same value?

Does anyone have the SQL skill to know the command which will amend the description field to change its size and advise if that could mess up any existing assets that have a varchar(64) current description?

-- Yuck. I see that in prims the CreatorID can be varchar(255) presuMably to accommodate HG creators, but that LastOwnerIDis char(36) yet that also of course can be a HG user. Maybe this shouLd be a mantis issue as there seems to be a check needed at least?
