Alright, one more question.
Would it really be detrimental to the system if I was to allocate 1 Alpha and set a high max length for each of the varchar fields? Not every record will have data in all of the fields, and it would cut down on wasted DASD.

<squint>lol</squint> will try. I haven't done sql in inav yet... i normally use squirrel or strsql, depending on what platform i'm using.

Anyways, wanted to say thanks for all your replies. It sounds like it really is just allocating 256 then... I was concerned there may be a bug in strsql, or...

Thanks

You know, if you really don't like this stop using STRSQL and use iNav's
Run SQL Scripts to run it in. It kinda shrinks the display to fill the
screen, with the usual gui methods to expand or contract the columns
further.

I can easily get two 8000 varchar fields to fit into about 2.5" of screen
space without having to squint.
