    No, you do not have to specify a maximum number.

            Thanks both of you for replying.
             
            but if I use any of the types that you have specified, still I
    have to define max. numbers, right?

    BLOB or CLOB (whichever makes more sense) ... I think in PostgreSQL
    you'll have a TEXTA type (but I'm pretty rusty on that right now).

                            Hi,
                             
                            I think i have posted this question before but I
    missed the answer.
                             
                            i am using postgres as database. One of my field
    (java String) has to be really long so user can store as much as they
    want. And I don't know the limit. Is it possible to do this in cayenne
    modeler? Right now I have that field as VARCHAR but in that I have to
    define max. no. of characters.
                             
                            Any comments?
                             
                            Denna
