Maximum field lengths

Continuing the discussion from Data Returned - Limits:

@mfairhurst Please can you post an updated list of maximum field lengths? We have just found someone with a 60-character forename, which is more than the 50-character limit suggested below. The person is at this link:

I meant 58 characters, not 60. And by the way, this person was appointed as a director on 1-Sep-2012 with that name, so it seems that your 50-character maximum field length in 2016 was wrong. You could find out the current maximum existing name by running a query, something like: SELECT MAX(LENGTH(forename) FROM people.
