# 2986 Concatenated CHAR or VARCHAR Columns Can Cause Error When the Length Exceeds 1024 Characters

I've started to run into the following error :-

ElevateDB Error #100 There is an error in the metadata for the column test (The size is above the maximum of 1024)

Sometimes my customers need custom reports with quite a lot of string concatenation. I can understand that a single VARCHAR field must be limited but should a concatenated string have the same limitation?

Comments

ElevateDB now converts any CHAR/VARCHAR expression that exceeds 1024 characters into a CLOB expression instead of issuing an exception, and the same is done for any BYTE/VARBYTE expressions, which are converted to BLOB expressions.

Resolution

Fixed Problem on 5/1/2009 in version 2.02 build 12
