Effects of changing datatype of a column from varchar to text

Question

The text data I have for a column in database in an enterprise application (uses hibernate) is huge and after increasing varchar size to a specific number, I don't have any other choice but to change the datatype to text. Can anyone help me understand how it may affect my application. Do I need to take care of anything else or just changing the datatype works ?

Answer 1

You should use TEXT. Although, that's the same thing as VARCHAR: If the declared type of the column contains any of the strings "CHAR", "CLOB", or "TEXT" then that column has TEXT affinity. Notice that the type VARCHAR contains the string "CHAR" and is thus assigned TEXT affinity Also note Note that numeric arguments in parentheses that following the type name (ex: "VARCHAR(255)") are ignored by SQLite - SQLite does not impose any length restrictions (other than the large global SQLITE_MAX_LENGTH limit) on the length of strings, BLOBs or numeric values. Your application work fine with datatype text.You don't need to take care of any thing
