More specifically
I suggest
for .LRN 2.2 relea se (imminent) add form validation.
then we change the datatype to text/clob and do the proper testing of upgrade scripts etc that are required for such a change.
As an aside, in general, ad_form knows nothing about the length of the column or even if you are inseting the data collected into the database at all. It seems to make sense to make it easier to validate length before inserting into the database though.
