product description length

it looks like the sql field is now set as a limited varchar rather than the old text type.

this was a problem for me since we use lengthy descriptions - so I changed it. 

but maybe it is a mistake since the short description is defined the same, so I wanted to make a note.


p.s.  I am using 2.0.0 rc3

hmm what do you need? Or what do you suggest for short and long description?

I returned the product_desc to "text" type and that is great for me.
varchar(255) is reasonable for short description, imo.


p.s.  we are migrating from an older j/vm site so these description lengths were already set rather long and they kept getting chopped off is what made me check on this.
