note 51617 added to ref.mssql

Posted below, the following message appears: "Note to Win32 Users: Due to a limitation in the underlying API used by PHP (MS DbLib C API), the length of VARCHAR fields is limited to 255. If you need to store more data, use a TEXT field instead. " "SQL Server natively supports VARCHAR up to 8000 characters. Note that TEXT fields have substantially poorer performance (and are much more limited) than VARCHAR so you may want to design your databases accordingly..." My question is, has this bug been fixed, or is it still a bug? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mssql.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51617 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51617&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51617&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51617&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51617&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51617&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51617&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
