 Field length varchar in ODBC

Hello Plexperts,


we are using ODBC and receive the following message when generating a table for testing purposes with varchar field ("KL_Notiz") with more than 255 characters:

Although the message states that the maximum length for ODBC connections is limited to 255 characters,
our application also works with the field named "KL_Notiz" of type varchar with a length of 5000 characters.

Is this message perhaps outdated and no longer valid for current ODBC drivers?

Best regards
Klaus
