[Rets-dev] How to calculate field sizes

[Allen Schmidt Sr.]

Thanks for the assistance with this guys. I really appreciate it.

I think what I am trying to get a hold of is something that I can use 
with compact-decoded data from MRIS that will give me the field names 
and the max field size of data that can be returned on that call. Then 
from that, I will build out my SQL tables to store that data. Using 
MySQL I can just say there are 500 columns of varchar(255) to create the 
table as that would make the rows too long.

Does something like this exist? Or an 'easy' way to find it out?

Thanks

Allen
