With the ezurl() operator or somewhere else? -- Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! Hubert Farnsworth

In fact the same occurs if you in other datatypes tries to insert long texts, e.g. in an enum datatype in a class.

The (mysql) database field where these are stored (ezurl.url) is a varchar(255), so there is a 255 char limit on URLs. I suspect you may be able to convert this to a text field to allow for a larger URLs.
