[asterisk-dev] res_config_mysql - maximum field length for appdata

[Sebastian Denz]

Hello list,

i have already posted to asterisk-users, but maybe this is more dev related... 
:)

as I am trying to write a complex macro for my users i have the problem,
that the appdata field in the extensions table is to small for all my macro 
parameters.

I am using the DB definition from
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+RealTime+Extensions
so appdata is limited to 128 characters.

And I would prefer some more ;)

After looking around in res_config_mysql.c I did not find any design based 
limitation because to me the relevant data structures seems to be allocated 
dynamically.

But as I am not a skilled C-hacker, it will be great if someone could tell me 
if there will be unwanted side effects after changing the fieldlength to 
something like 200 characters or more...

btw: is there another (maybe more official?!) source for the database definition 
than voip-info.org? I did not find anything in the addons directory...

Regards,
Sebastian
