OID Attribute Maximum Size
I need to created a new attribute in OID and noticed that on the "General" tab (while in the Oracle Directory Manager / Schema Manager) that the "Size" input field will only allow for a "Maximum Size Value" of 999999999. I need 2147483648.
Then I noticed in the following documentation, the following:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28196_01/idmanage.1014/b15998/schema_overview.htm#OIMUR0605
Sizing of Attribute Values
Attribute syntax does not put any specific size constraint on attribute values. You can, however, specify the size of the attribute value when defining the attribute. Some attributes in Oracle Internet Directory may have size constraints defined, however length characteristics of an attribute are not enforced.
So if I understand this correctly it does not matter what the value of the "Size" (Maximum size of value) is, because OID ignores them. How then do you control that the length of an attribute value does not exceed a defined length? Or am I missing something?
