Are the database fields large enough?

0

Yes Most of the FaciliWorks fields are 50 characters, except of course for dates and numeric fields. Memo fields can hold up to 64K each. Because of the extremely efficient manner in which FaciliWorks stores fields (variable length fields), there is no wasted disk or memory space. Other competing maintenance management packages that rely on older technology such as dBase, Btrieve, Paradox, FoxPro and ASCII databases utilize fixed length fields. This results in enormous amounts of wasted disk and memory space.
