Paul Foxworthy commented on OFBIZ-12021:
----------------------------------------
Good idea.
In the case of Microsoft SQL Server, the text datatype was deprecated long ago
and will probably be removed one day
([https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/deprecated-database-engine-features-in-sql-server-2016?view=sql-server-ver15|https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/deprecated-database-engine-features-in-sql-server-2016?view=sql-server-ver15).]).
The replacement is VARCHAR(MAX) .
> "description" and "comment" datatypes unnecicairly limited to 255 char

> "description" and "comment" fields are restricted to 255 char. However after
> some research I found that all the supported databases support longer then
> 255 char
> I would expect users to want to write more then 255 char in a comment (I know
> I personally can).
>
> I have included diff of my proposed solution as a attachment (I am
> unfamiliar with the procedures for submitting patches here)
