Technical Background |
Which database uses baseportal?
For example, we can consider the size of a field. In normal databases, you have to allocate a size and type of field. Often, you can't know this in advance. If the field is larger than eg.255 characters, you need to assign it a different type. For a field with special characters, you also need to assign another type of field. With baseportal, it' doesn't matter how long or short a field is, and you can use any amount of special characters you like. |
