Django-Unlimited-Char

The tiny library introducing CharField with unlimited maximum length.

Installation

Stable version from the PyPi package repository

pip install django-unlimited-char

Last development version from the GitHub source version control system

pip install git+git://github.com/nnseva/django-unlimited-char.git

Compatibility restrictions

NOTICE Not all database backends support this feature. At the moment this is PostgreSQL and SQLite. The Oracle backend supports such a field (not checked yet) partially only.

Using

from django.db import models

from unlimited_char.fields import CharField

class MyModel(models.Model):
    name = CharField()
    ...

You can use this field anywhere the usual CharField is used.

You can assign a max_length attribute as for the original CharField, but this attribute will restrict the input only (form clean() etc). The direct save() will not restrict the field length.
