[Building Sakai] Limit of characters of Resource Ids

[Stephen Marquard]

A resource ID is also a reference, so changing this would have implications for SAKAI_EVENT and anything else that works with resource references.

Subject: [Building Sakai] Limit of characters of Resource Ids

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.
