What is the maximum length of varchar (doctrine: string) in Doctrine 2 or SQL?

Question

If I use the line type in doctrine 2 (maps for sql varchar), what is the maximum length I can use?

Answer 1

MySQL can save 65,535, others have the same limit. Oracle has a maximum limit of 4000 (which is the lowest for all vendors!)

Answer 2

In SQL, the maximum length for VARCHAR is 255, the same with TINYTEXT.
