When you say

 

  • If the item content is text, the user should be taken to a page where the item content is displayed.

I assume this means that text can be a block or page worth of text?

Should we allow an item to go over the maximum varchar length?  Or just impose the limit on the text input?

You should use a varchar length that's reasonable large - not the default 255 generated by Hibernate.

The maximum varchar length in a DBMS is typically 4GB.
