Tech Tip: The ARRAY STRING command in 4D v11 SQL
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 11.3 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: December 23, 2008

Databases created with 4D v11 SQL natively support Unicode, therefore there is no limitation of 255 characters on string length. In this context the ARRAY STRING command behaves as ARRAY TEXT.

It is strongly recommended for new development to use ARRAY TEXT instead of ARRAY STRING, to avoid inadvertently exceeding the limits of the array element size.
