[Building Sakai] Limit of characters of Resource Ids

[Daniel Merino]

Hi everybody.

It seems weird to me that I have not found anybody asking for this in 
JIRA before.

As our teachers upload more and more folders into Resources, they 
sometimes exceed the limit of 255 characters that collections and 
resources ids have in database. In CONTENT_RESOURCE table, both fields 
RESOURCE_ID and IN_COLLECTION are VARCHAR(255). The only solution seems 
that they must shorten their folder names.

I wonder if there is some good technical reason to maintain the limit in 
these fields to 255 characters. If there is not and nobody disagrees, I 
will create a JIRA asking for extending them.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
