RE: Max Size of a text field

You can edit config.h and recompile 7.0.3 to allow for larger tuples (up to 32K - Info used to be in the FAQ but that has changed so try the mailing list archives for info) or you can try 7.1 RC1 or the CVS snapshot as both can deal with almost unlimited text fields ;-)
