I'd guess that the docs have not been updated in a very long time. It
should not say (in bytes). As long as the database is setup for
Unicode (so that varchar(80) accepts 80 unicode characters, it should
all be fine.
Can you file a bug report on the documentation so that it gets fixed?

Hi all,
The documentation for the EOAttribute.width() says:
"Returns the maximum length (in bytes) for values that are mapped to
this attribute. Returns zero for numeric and date types."
So, according to this the maximum length in characters (for textual
attributes) would be determined by the encoding used. However, a
simple test trying to validate a String attribute shows that the
width is validated against the length in characters. Since neither
Java nor the DB is encoding in 8bits. So, is this a mistake in the
docs or am I missing something?
