I need to know what the max size of a varchar field is allowed to be in 7.3.4. I have a table that someone created with a varchar(1000) field (before I started here). We are noticing that when we try to view that field we only end up with ~255 characters. This is making me think that varchars are limited to 255. Is this true? If it is not, how do I see the rest of the field? If it is, is the rest of the field lost?

Thanks,

Chris
