Varchar(MAX)/TEXT is a construct that lets you put in an arbitrary amount of text into the string with no defined upper limit unlike varchar(#) where # is the character limit. It's a small technical limitation to a project I'm working on if we don't have it but it's easy enough to work around, was mostly curious if we have that support. I'm shoving email bodies into QS and having arbitrary text would make that more powerful.

I've used varchar successfully in Quickstep, but I don't know what
functions are supported.  Is there specific functionality you're looking
for?

Ex. "CREATE TABLE Child (a int, b int, c varchar(20));"

Hello,

Does Quickstep currently have support for arbitrary-length BLOB format
varchars? Think TEXT or varchar(MAX) from SQL Server.
