#265: change assessment.impact.description forn VARCHAR(255) to TEXT in the database ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: [email protected] | Owner: yoann Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: LibpreludeDB 0.9.14 Component: libpreludedb | Version: 0.9 Severity: normal | Keywords: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ In libpreludedb I would Like to change the field in the database for assessment.impact.description to TEXT in the database this would effectivly unlimit the size of the field in PostgreSQL and SQLite, in MySQL it would set the maximum length to 65,535 characters. since this is not an indexed field and usauly not used for searching it should have a negligable if any proformance impact. It will also allow for much more verbose descriptions. the reason why this came to my attention is im working on an snmp sensor it almost complete but i want to be able to add the description from the mib to the alert however i realized that many of the descriptions in the mibs excide 255 characters in addition many of them actualy excide 512 characters. In RFC4765 there in the deffinition of a string there is no limit imposed on the length of a field. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.prelude-ids.org/ticket/265> Prelude Hybrid IDS <http://www.prelude-ids.org> The Prelude Hybrid Intrusion Detection System suite _______________________________________________ Prelude-devel site list [email protected] http://www.prelude-ids.org/mailman/listinfo/prelude-devel
