Trey at 3:48 AM | Tagged: Uncategorized I am making a version of our wonderful online home that runs on MS SQL server. This is a really powerful database solution and has many advantages to MySQL (where our current horsepower comes from). I wanted to make you aware of one major limitation that I have found so far and to gather your thoughts.
Text limits: In order to keep most of he functionality and speed the board up I would have to limit text to 8000 characters in length. You get a total of 2 fields of 8000 characters, for the math impaired thats 16000 characters (including spaces, punctuation and everything else)
Currently there are only 5 entries that exceed the 8000 limit, they are as follows<ul><li>Little Badass</li>
<li>Muslims are more articulate than I had thought </li>
<li>Taming Gravity </li>
<li>Great IRC quotes. </li>
<li>ASCII Porn </li></ul>
Only the "Muslims are more articulate than I had thought" and "Ascii Porn" are more than 16000 characters.

Says:Or they could simply type out 16,000 characters?

WTF are you talking about?

Says:This was over my head and under my ass. I have absolutely no clue what that said. Put it in little words next time. We did graduate from CRHS you know.
Cartman
Says:I am the product of CRHS, hence do not know what I speak of, about, or possibly the slightest comprehension of having a clue of the replies given in reference to my first stated reply to your post about a subject which I have no knowledge about.
Summary: In the proper way of a "board warrior", a jackass reply.

Says:Hi everyone! This web site is intense. It's good to see so many of you, at least online.
This site is really nice (well the design anyway) I hope Trey and whomever else helps with it (if anyone) does this professionally and makes a bunch of money! Perhaps then we could prove that Da Riva can produce more than a random baseball player, 2nd rate strippers and porn (and I use the phrase very weakly) "stars."
By the way, I am still in Orlando in my last semester ever in college, thank god, at UCF. In May I'll have my BA in Journalism. I'm not sure what I'll end up doing, but it will probably involve PR of some sort and I'm looking in to moving to South Florida, but if not, Orlando is nice too.
Strangely, the last couple weeks I've been catching up with all kinds of CR people... I ran in to John Crawford at the UCF Rec Center where he works and he seems to be doing very well--he posted an update on this site a little while ago. I also talked to Caren Scott, she's up at UF also in her last semester but she's going on for a master's in something english-related. Mun-Wah Ng (in case you had him confused with the other Mun-Wah) is at Boston University, in his first year of med school! But no one really expected less out of him.
If any of you guys want to contact me and catch up, my IM name is MaggieCKI. I'd really like to hear from you!
