# Django-Unlimited-Char

The tiny library introducing CharField with unlimited maximum length.

## Installation

*Stable version* from the PyPi package repository

```bash

pip install django-unlimited-char

```

*Last development version* from the GitHub source version control system

```bash

pip install git+git://github.com/nnseva/django-unlimited-char.git

```

## Compatibility restrictions

**NOTICE** Not all database backends support this feature. At the moment this is

PostgreSQL and SQLite. The Oracle backend supports such a field (not checked yet) partially only.

## Using

```python

from django.db import models

from unlimited_char.fields import CharField

class MyModel(models.Model):

    name = CharField()

    ...

```

You can use this field anywhere the usual CharField is used.

You can assign a max_length attribute as for the original CharField, but this attribute will

restrict the input only (form `clean()` etc). The direct `save()` will not restrict the field length.
