Description
This is what the reference manual says about the length of a VARCHAR:
(http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.5/ref/rrefsqlj41207.html)
,----
| length is an unsigned integer constant, and it must not be greater |
| than the constraint of the integer used to specify the length, the |
| value java.lang.Integer.MAX_VALUE. |
| The maximum length for a VARCHAR string is 32,672 characters. `---- |
I don't understand why it talks about Integer.MAX_VALUE here, and I
think it would be less confusing if we replaced the above with this:
