Ok, so lets say this is the scenario
DB column is varchar(255)
OA is set to varchar(255)
...what happens? Does OA check the length at all? Or is that just a map to the DB and we should be good?
We need to up the size on a column, and we can't update the OA version just yet is the problem...

Hello Steve,

Updating the length of a column in the database will not cause problems with OpenAccess. OpenAccess does not check the length of a field value against its column length. The length of the columns is used as metadata information though. This means that if you try to generate the SQL script for your database, your column will be created with the length of 255. If you want your value to be taken into account by the Update Database From Model wizard, you should change the value in the OpenAccess metadata too.
