DB field type question

[gatzo]

Hi all,

I need to input more than 255 chars for a module in the configuration_value field in the configuration table.

 

The type is currently set to VARCHAR(255).

 

Would it cause any problems to change the type of that field to TEXT?

 

Can anyone see any bad side effects of such a change?

 

Thanks.

I dont think it makes a difference. I've changed them around before to fit more characters and it didnt make a difference.

 

Having said that make a backup first :D

Thanks, I go for a test then.
