change datatype char to varchar

Post by john_kuiper » Wed 30 May 2012 11:11

The previous databasemanager set all stringfields to datatype char.
If I have a char (20) and want to change it to varchar, the length field will be resetted to 255. Is it possible in the next build the length field not to change if the datatype is het to varchar?

We will review this suggestion when developing next versions of dbForge Studio for MySQL.

Is this suggestion approved?
The latest update is still setting length to 255 when changing from char to varchar.
