Datatype for textarea

[Patrick Mulder]

Hello,

another small question: In a Post class with ActiveRecord, there would
be an attribute like

post:text

What datatype/attribute class would you suggest for using with
'text' ? String is a bit of SQL thinking (= VARCHAR(255)), or?

Cheers,

Patrick

Hi,

String is totally correct in Ashikawa, you do not need a special type "text" as in RDBMSs.
Both Ruby and ArangoDB do not differentiate between short String and long text :)

But maybe I didn't understand the question?

Best Wishes,
Lucas

Ok, that answered my question; I was just not sure, if I was maybe touching a new concept for me.
