Title: [EA15] Too long initialization value for an attribute
Post by: YanDJ on May 10, 2023, 12:45:44 am

Hi, I am trying to add a large initialization value to an attribute in c. This attribute is a large structure containing many elements, that's why my initialization value is large.
But when I tried to add the initialization value, EA cut off after 30000 characters.

Is there any way to increase the size limit?

Thank you for your understanding.

Depends on your DB. For SQL Server they use

Code: [Select]

`Default` MEDIUMTEXT ,in t_attribute which will probably be 32k. Ask your DBA to put in something larger there. Makes your DB not interchangeable with others.

Hello Qwerty,
Thank you for your response, I have change in my database the t_attribute->Default from mediumtext to longtext.
longtext should be able to store up to 4go. But nothing changes when I try to add my value with EA.

The problems seems to be more on the software EA than my database mysql, there is a setting in EA to accept more text ?

Well, no. Seems they have a length check prior to sending it to the DB. That's not the case for (some) other fields. You will have to send a feature request. But don't expect any change soon.
