I'm experimenting with 'inspectdb' so I can use Django on an existing
database. I was curious to see what inspectdb would return for the
tutorial tables (Polls, Choices) and was confused by the output:
class PollsChoice(meta.Model):
id = meta.IntegerField()
poll_id = meta.IntegerField()
choice = meta.CharField(maxlength=600)
votes = meta.IntegerField()
class META:
db_table = 'polls_choices'
class PollsPoll(meta.Model):
id = meta.IntegerField()
question = meta.CharField(maxlength=600)
pub_date = meta.DateTimeField()
class META:
db_table = 'polls_polls'
Why are the choice and question fields maxlength of 600 when they were
specified as 200 in the model? I also tried on a different table I
created with a varchar(40) field and it came back with maxlength of 120
so it seems to consistently multiply the length by 3 (I'm using MySQL
4.1.18).
