DBAppender logging_event.level_string

[James Stauffer <js...@spscommerce.com>]

For DBAppender the column logging_event.level_string is defined as
varchar(254).  As I understand it the possible values are: DEBUG, INFO,
WARN, ERROR, and FATAL, so it seems that varchar(5) would big enough.  If
someone wanted to define a CRITICAL level then making it varchar(10) would
give plenty of room.  Why is it so big?

Hi James,

The field is 254 long in order to support custom Level types. The support 
is not there yet but it will be added eventually.
