Again, *all* other major relational databases do this ... even blob fields have a maximum length reported from the database.
So what are you doing with the max length? Not all data types and values have a meaningful max length, so you have to be able to deal with variable length data anyway.
For blobs, exactly what max length would you like to get; 1GB? 1TB? Why, what good is that for?
