floridaflatlander Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I've searched for this and it seems it should work but it doesn't. As I under stand it, INT stores an integer in total up to 2 billion plus and if a length is assigned like int( 8 ) only 8 charcters of that length will be displayed. But my problem is if I put in more than 8 charactors they are all displayed, can someone tell me whats up?

floridaflatlander Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 The display width does not constrain the range of values that can be stored in the column. Nor does it prevent values wider than the column display width from being displayed correctly. So this means I have to limit characters on input?
