Hello all.
I will be creating one of my first web applications and would like to use Postgresql as the database on a Red Hat 6.2 or 7.1 system with Apache and either ColdFusion or PHP.
Anyway, the application will have a text field where employees can update their progress on assigned tasks. By the time a task is completed, the field may exceed 8k. I am not a person who likes to compile from tarball's because training non-Linux experienced fellow system administrators to use RPMs is enough. Updates are easier as well.
The question: Is it possible to have a text field greater than 8k but only using RPMs -- not compiling and/or chaining via a separate table (breaking something into 8k chunks)? If so, how?
Any assistance you can provide is appreciated. Thanks.
