Translate 2GB of data in a text a field into number of characters

Featured Replies

Hello everyone,

I know these are silly questions, but I just want to verify the information.

Filemaker does not have limitations on text fields, unless programmers set

them correct? Also, the What is the longest (number of letters) a record can

be named is over 1 million characters, correct? And users can use any type

of character in a text field, correct?

Thanks! :

FileMaker 8 specs.

Text: Up to 1 billion characters per field per repetition (limited by available memory) with optional text style runs and paragraph runs. Index is based on the first 100 characters of each word or value.

In answer to your 3rd question, FileMaker supports Unicode, so: yes.
