RE: Max length of a VARYING field

From: Scott Klement

Err... also, I'm not sure that we need a *MAX32KB. Is that just
for compatibility with older releases, or what?

It's for completeness.

You misunderstand. I was asking why we need a *MAX32KB assuming that we
already have a *MAX64KB keyword.

Gotcha.

If you read in context, you'll see that I was (wrongly) removing one bit of
precision in general. I have never used a 32KB field, much less a 64KB
field, so was unaware that the size restriction had been moved up to 64KB.
Thus, I would stick now with *MAX64KB, *MAX4GB and *MAX256TB were I to use
keywords. However, I prefer the implicit size.
