my platform: django 1.1.1, mysql 5.0.67, python 2.6.2
why does syncdb complain
CharField cannot have a "max_length" greater than 255 when using
"unique=True"
when mysql 5.0.67 does allow greater tan 255? is there a way to
override or ignore this error?
this works in mysql
mysql> create table mb
> The point is that utf8 can use up to 3 bytes per character...
i appreciate your reply. interesting distinction between bytes and
chars. i think i still need some more guidance. still not sure how to
resolve with your suggestion to consdier the character set.
i am able to create the django model
for my needs i will patch django/db/backends/mysql/validation.py
producing my own locally used django rpm to allow more than 255. in my
configuration this works fine. thanks all for your time and guidance!
