Description |
Currently, the length of "units" field in "items" table in the database is 255 characters. This seems to be much more than necessary. A length of 32 or 64 characters would be more appropriate. |

Decided not to fix it, because it does not provide any real benefit: a string of 10 characters would occupy the same space in both varchar(32) and varchar(255). Furthermore, someone may already be using longer units for one reason or another. |
