  1. Hi!

    yeah…”no hard-wired limits” is good. But for practical purposes, the 64k row length is a much bigger problem. Or maybe that has been torn out of Drizzle?

  2. Some engines have other limitations of 512 or 1024 columns. The rule is indeed that if you get even close, your design is wrong.
    While I agree with the “no hardcoded limits” in principle, for this one I really don’t give a stuff that it exists. Roland Bouman addresses the more relevant concern of max row length (excluding blob/text fields).
