Subject: Re: [9front] [PATCH 6/6] ndb: document attribute name and value length constraints in BUGS section of man page
Reply-To: 9front@9front.org
Precedence: bulk

I came across these limitations (defined in /sys/include/ndb.h as
Ndbalen and Ndbvlen, respectively) when toying around with ndb as a
simple database.  This hopefully will save someone else some head
scratching when the query isn't returning as it should.
