Subject: Tripping over (my own) stupidity - VARCHAR declaration minus specificity

Message-ID: <C3FA421FEED237488E9820D1ED668F330AB5ACE3@SVWEMAIL> (raw)
I created a table in a hurry and forgot to specify the max capacity for a varchar() data type.
Can it be said what the max would be in a case like this (just curious)?
thanks much
