Bug #4118: Site should specify lengths and validations for all string columns 
in database
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4118

The site's schema currently defines strings using default arguments. In the 
current SQLite3 database, the default string is a varchar(255) column and no 
code to warn the user if they've gone too far. 

In SQLite3, this isn't so bad because it effectively ignores this limit, but 
this means that people can enter more content into fields than we'd want.

In a database like PostgreSQL, this is very bad because it will throw database 
errors.

In a database like MySQL, this is even worse because it will silently truncate 
data.
