There are many properties stored in VARCHAR(255) fields, which sometimes
isn't enough. This already causes
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-883 . Changing to variable length
field doesn't have any major side effects, as I know.
As pro arguments:
1. The size of the database will not increase
2. There are already some fields stored as mediumtext and longblob, so it's
not something new in the database
3. The fewer limits there are, the better
4. Issues like XWIKI-883 will be fixed
... and maybe more
Is there something I'm missing that prevents this?
