Hey all, currently, the length of the column configvalue (varchar) in the table appconfig is set to 255. As it happens, sometimes you need more space, e.g. when you have to define long LDAP-filters.
Therefore I'd like to enlarge this column to a higher value, e.g. 500. The problem is that MySQL up to version 5.0.2 (incl) only allows VARCHArs with a length up to 255 bytes. 5.0.3 and later allow 65535 bytes. SQLite accepts a length of 500 bytes. PostgresSQL is fine with up to 1 GB. What do you think, is it okay to set up this barrier for MySQL? I have no idea about the MySQL versions running in the wild. My 10.04 Ubuntu server delivers 5.1.41, UCS 3.0 ships 5.1.49. Alternatively, we could move the application config out of the datababe and store it in a config file under config/. In a wider scenario, we could also check if config files exists in /etc/owncloud or /var/lib/owncloud/config/ to make it easier for distributions (see also Riddells mail from Feb, 15th).
