Am I safe to increase the size of an EE database field?

    Hi guys n gals 😊

    I’d like to increase the size of the ‘interests’ field in table ‘exp_members’. I assume I’m safe to do this via phpMyAdmin and nothing will break? I can’t think that anything would rely on the length being exactly the current value, and I’m not shrinking it, so figure it won’t be an issue.

    I’m aware this may/will be overridden if EE is updated, but we’re not planning on upgrading EE after deployment. I’ve already had to modify mod.member_register.php to accept ‘interests’ and ‘occupation’ via the registration form by default, so have accepted we’ll have to keep things static.

    Many thanks,

    Dave
