String default length

Hi,
What is the default length of the string if we don't explicitly set it to some value? I'm used not to define String Length in schema editors and now I'm getting worried if maybe I should.
Thanks, Greg

The length of a string is only of interest if you create a database table (with the Action on Table) and here the varchar types needs a length > 0.
Another usage of length is in the tSchemaComplianceCheck component.
If you read and write strings is does not matter what you have set as length.
