I agree that 16 was chosen "because 16 was chosen", so no real explanation. I agree that we could extend it.

Extending it to 255 seems a little bit overkill to me : the larger the patron DB row is, the worst it is (comment related to biblioitems embedding marclxml, see an thread I've started here a few months ago)

Greetings,

 

Thanks, Marc V. for the bugzilla link. I’ve added an amendment to that bug which should make a separate “resize the cardnumber” bug very simple (Yes, +1 to the idea of increasing its size). Feel free to test bug 15690. Look at a preference and run a prove. Not very hard.

GPML,

Mark Tompsett
