Probably a silly question but ... did you all consider creating a datatype for molecue representation ? This seem to be a very similar usecase than mathematica formula. Essentially we're not dealing with a raw string but a representation of molecule formulas, with its own encoding ...
Changing the limit seem to be a poor workaround to a dedicated datatype - nobody seems to have found a relevant usecase and it seem to me that we're essentially abusing strings for storing blobs ... 2016-10-08 11:33 GMT+02:00 Egon Willighagen <[email protected]>: > > > On Sat, Oct 8, 2016 at 11:28 AM, Lydia Pintscher < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> On Sat, Oct 8, 2016 at 11:23 AM, Egon Willighagen >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> > Ah, those numbers are for https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P234 >> ... >> >> External identifier then.
