Re: Any hope for more specific error message for "value too long..."?

​

I'm not holding my breath...and have to come to feel that when I see that message in my own production environment I am being punished for defining an inferior database model.  I should have used "text" and if I have length concerns for storage in tables I should add a check constraint (and probably be checking for non-visible characters and other stuff too).  I largely am doing that in my new stuff but my legacy schema is not amenable to such a change - even though removing the type attribute doesn't cause a table re-write - in particular because of views.
