<br></div><div>I tried to change the type of a field from "short" to varchar and found out that it defaults to a varchar which has only 2 characters thus truncating all the existing data in that field to just two characters.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I also tried using the features of database diagrams which allows you to choose the number of characters (in this case I wanted 8) before committing. Interesting this changes all the data (9,000 records) to "42". </div>
<div><br></div><div>I would report this in Mantis but I have not had the time over the last two months to get the serial number required to use the latest beta and test it (as maybe this problem does not occur in latest beta). I will when I have a free weekend (I remember it took me nearly an hour to find it on the website last time and I can't remember what I did).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I wish it was easier to get that serial number for testing.
