[PHP-DEV] Fw: [PHP4]Lack of wide db table support From: Danny Heijl (danny.heijl <email protected>)

 This is entirely my fault as I (naively perhaps) thought that 256 fields
was
 plenty when I wrote that part of the Informix driver.

 You are the second person to complain about this, and in an identical
 situation.

 If you *really* need this fixed very badly let me know. The change is
 trivial but will take time to test.
