> An attempt to create a table that contains a column of type CHAR with a size greater than 254 using the SQL statement
> CREATE TABLE dummyTable ( column1 char(255),column2 char(10),column3 char(10) )
> results in the following SQL Exception:
> SQL Exception: The length, precision, or scale attribute for column, or type mapping 'CHAR(255)' is not valid.
> SQL Error: 30000
> SQL State: 42611
> However, if you decrease column1's length by one as below, the table is created successfully:
