In reality, customers need to keep more sales information different from provided by system. NAV 2013 sales header standard fields already consumed 65% (around 5238/8000 bytes). Beside inactive some fields or use additional table solutions, is there any better way to solve this issue? Will this limitation be broken in next version?

    hi,

    as you mentioned: additional tables with (foreign) key "Document Type", "No." is a good idea.

    one additional idea: save data in xml data structure and save it compressed into blob field (not very fast)

    list of limitations:

    This is a limitation with SQL because SQL page size is a 8000 bytes. As per my understanding best solution is to use a separate table and link it with your primary table. In that way you do not have to go through a big hassle in retrieving data.

    Thanks Jonathan and Tharanga!

    I would like to compare existed solutions for additional tables and blob field. Please let me know any blogs already implemented them!
