Description:
------------
Would be too much of a problem for DBO to support field length/size in its schema. That would enable things such as bound checking and better form building (formbuilder makes text fields of the same size for all the fields, no matter as how big/small defined they are).

For the same reasons it would be nice if it would differ the BLOB and TEXT fields.

I don't know if every DBMS supports this information to be retrieved, but I think MySQL does it.
