Size limitation to Extra fields

[flyspray]

Is there a limitation (besides common sense) to how much data can be stored in either page or product extra fields... Say i wanted to store large spread sheet in Product extra field 8. Is there a upper limitation on how many bytes can be stored in single product/page extra field???

I there limitation on maximum bytes that can be stored to all extra fields?? ie.. if i store spread sheet in each of the 10 extra fields is there an upper limit to how much data can be stored in all 10 extra fields per product/page???

There isn't a hard limit other than the database field size which I believe is 2 gig. However working with more than 100k or so would be really unmanageable.

Most utilities, such as Excel, Quattro Pro etc., that you would use to create data to upload to ShopSite would have a cell limit that would limit the amount you could actually upload.

Also you need to consider server resouces such as cpu time and disk space and Internet connection speed. If you have a disk quota that would limit the total amount of data that your store could contain. If you are on a server with multiple other stores cpu speed would be implaced by huge amounts of data. And connection speed for you managing the store as well as shoppers coming to your store would be impacted by large amounts of data in the database and on store pages.
