The error is not the number of columns but the total bytes per row. There is a 4k restriction on row width. There is also a saying in any SQL database that it is better to have many skinny tables than few fat tables.

 

How many of the columns in your table will be more often NULL than populated with data? This is a good test to see which columns should be moved to a child table.

I keep getting an error on adding more than 99 columns to a table. The error is -ERROR- Row length exceeds maximum of 4,096 characters (2370). I did not realize that there was a table restriction. Is this correct?
