Changing database field sizes

web-app

Hi,

After importing a bunch of data from trac I noticed some fields have limits on text length - namely description fields on versions, components etc.

What would be the impact on changing these in the database? Are there hooks in the front end that reforce the length or is the database the sole point for the length?

I guess the question I'm asking is - if I start changing database fields how does that impact merging with new releases? Do they come as a series of update statements or just a fresh database to migrate to?

Many thanks, Chris

The database scripts will not touch these, so you are safe to do so.
Hoever, note that updating these via the front end (web app) might cause truncation.
