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?
