-----------------------------------------

Hi ddev,

I checked the DMBSs types, your patch is OK with me. Before committing, there is something I did not tell you. When we change something in the DBMSs settings we generally (it depends on the change) update a file to let people know about these changes when upgrading OFBiz.
In the wiki it's explained at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/General+Entity+Overview#GeneralEntityOverview-DeprecatedEntities. We have also the applications/datamodel/DATAMODEL_CHANGES.adoc file to update. TIA :)

> "description" and "comment" fields are restricted to 255 char.  However after some research I found that all the supported databases support longer then 255 char
> I would expect users to want to write more then 255 char in a comment (I know I personally can).
> I have included diff of my proposed solution as a attachment  (I am unfamiliar with the procedures for submitting patches here)
