denorm_account_name too long

Hi Francesca Shiekh ,

Both the accounts.name and opportunities.denorm_account_name field are varchar(255) in the default schema, so it seems likely these values were reduced through extended vardefs or manual database schema updates. At a minimum, I recommend increasing the denorm_account_name on Opportunities to match your accounts.name length. I recommend also checking the denorm_account_name column on other tables such as contacts, cases, etc. to prevent similar failures.

This is very odd. I have Extensions for the denorm_account_name but I wasn't the one who did this, and I'm the only one who works in Sugar.

Revenue Line Items is new to us and I've not put it in use yet.

So something in the upgrade process added these:

custom/Extension/modules/Cases/Ext/Vardefs/denorm_account_name.php
custom/Extension/modules/Contacts/Ext/Vardefs/denorm_account_name.php
custom/Extension/modules/Opportunities/Ext/Vardefs/denorm_account_name.php
custom/Extension/modules/RevenueLineItems/Ext/Vardefs/denorm_account_name.php

In my experience, the Extension vardef files are normal and the 'len' attribute is typically defined there. I'm not sure why it would have it to 50 instead of either the default of 255 or a length matching your accounts.name definition. I think it's safe to make the adjustments as I haven't seen these settings get overwritten for any of our clients.
