Re: Large Character Fields even Larger?
Nevermind, when I increased it to 400,000 it now works. Why would it work in 7.1 p7 with 9, but I have to increase it to 400,000 in 7.6.04 SP2? The data is basically the same. Thanks!

Re: Text Editor for worklog and large character fields
Don't even play games just go get Ultraedit. I have dealt with log files that are multi-gigs in size and it has some REALLY great functionalities. Heck, I should get commission from those people.

Re: Large Character Fields
This is going to cause you more headaches than it's worth and I don't think there will be any benefit so far as performance. If you want to see a performance benefit, try these things - remove all the lob/text columns from the table. - remove all the columns from the table that are not being used Axton Grams On Jan 8, 2008 12:59 PM, LJ LongWing (Head) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ** remember in 7.x they increased the size of the logon field from 30 to > 254 (or was it 255)...so that is actually a good size for a field that holds > login IDbut if it's a zTmp...is it a display only field?

Re: Large Character Fields
remember in 7.x they increased the size of the logon field from 30 to 254 (or was it 255)...so that is actually a good size for a field that holds login IDbut if it's a zTmp...is it a display only field? If it is then it's length doesn't matter...you could set it to 0 if you wantedif you are looking to shrink the size of your DB, I believe shrinking the size of the column will help...but I also think it's dependent upon your DB and how it handles such column size changes. _ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Kovalcik Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 10:49 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Large Character Fields ** Listers, I have quite a few character fields that are 255 characters in length.

Large Character Fields
Listers, I have quite a few character fields that are 255 characters in length. The majority of them came with the Helpdesk application and are in the 25xxx field ID range. Would there be any performance benefit in reducing these to only the necessary size. For example, a zTmp field at 254 that holds only a login ID. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, John M.
