Please increase a size for DB field: act_ge_bytearray.name_ to 500 chars

Hi, one little suggestion to Activiti-Developer:

Please increase a size for DB field: act_ge_bytearray.name_
from 255 to 500 chars.

We have a problem with long path to process filename.
It is VARCHAR that's why it isn't a problem for DB access performance.

For next release 5.13 ?
Thanks in advance!

Stan.

The problem is that not all databases can cope with such sizes. 255 is what we found to work accross all database systems.

Of course, you can easily tweak the DDL yourself without any problem.

thanks,

out team leader prepares a work around (a little bit more than increasing: means for extended resource managenment).
But he is taking vacation now….
