What is the maximum character length of a com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.localdb.persistence.StringField ?

Is there a way I could find this out on my own?

Thanks

One of the constructors defaults the size to 4096 bytes, the other lets you specify the max size.

public StringField(SRecordMeta<?> meta, String columnName, SFieldFlags... pvals) 
public StringField(SRecordMeta<?> meta, String columnName, int maxValue, SFieldFlags... pvals)

Javadoc is non-existant on these, so there’s not much you could’ve done but look at the signatures.

Thanks Kevin.

Just a suggestion. It seems like it might be more clear if the “maxValue” argument was named something like “maxLength”.

Okay. Can’t blame him too much. Having a setting to specify the maximum length of the string field is great.
