Hej R:BASE! I'm back in research using relational databases, i.e. R:BASE - great! I have a data base with a table containing two text columns that in some cases are pretty long, so I predefined them in LONG VARCHAR when I created the base five years ago or so. But when exporting those two columns from the table to Excel or Word, some of the longest text parts are lost (e.g. ########### in word). I've tried to make a view of the whole table and export from there, but the problems remain. I have not tried to change the two LONG VARCHAR columns into TEXT yet, but could that be an opportunity nowadays?
