i'm not rudy, but i play him on a public access television program.

i'd guess char_len() or something like that that would count the number of
characters.

i'm guessing it has nothing whatsoever to do with the specifics of the
database software or the power of the hardware the cf server is on.

i think your open source photon laser is mis-aimed.  more likely than not
the 32K limit has something to do with the communication layer between cf
server and the db server, something which macrollaire has no control over.

just my thoughts,
