Hi

My email Address field is of the type String512.
Can you please let me know what does 512 signifies, bits or bytes.

Also, can you please suggest how many bytes each ASCII character consumes in adobe campaign.

thanks a lot

Hi,

512 characters. Character space varies on the encoding, up to 4 bytes per character for unicode.

ASCII is an unusual choice for db encoding, and would be 1 byte. Don't use ASCII.

Thanks,

-Jon
