What is the max size of 'max_length' in Django?
This is my model:
class Position(models.Model):
map = models.ForeignKey(Map,primary_key=True)
#members=models.CharField(max_length=200)
LatLng = models.CharField(max_length=40000)
infowindow = models.CharField(max_length=40000)
But it can't run. What is the max size of the max_length
parameter?
That depends on the database backend. The Django DB Docs will tell you, that max_length=255
is guaranteed to work always.
If you need something of the amount you've specified in your question, I'd suggest to use a TextField.
Use TextField
instead
infowindow = models.TextField()
It depends on the backend database. If you use MySQL 5.6 then there is a limit of 65,535. If you are using above that then it will allow for 1024 also but not beyond that.
class Demo(models.Model):
max_test = models.CharField(max_length=1024)
I ran above on MySQL 5.7
It really depends on the database you use for the model. PostgreSQL, MySQL and so on have different settings and limits.
If you really need a long string or not sure how long the variable would be, always safe to just go with variable=models.TextField()
.
