That was discussed and declined a while ago, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T126862. Though I think the proposed realization was presentational rather than functional. I'll have to re-read the discussion, though.

Probably a silly question but ... did you all consider creating a datatype for molecue representation ? This seem to be a very similar usecase than mathematica formula. Essentially we're not dealing with a raw string but a representation of molecule formulas, with its own encoding ...
Changing the limit seem to be a poor workaround to a dedicated datatype - nobody seems to have found a relevant usecase and it seem to me that we're essentially abusing strings for storing blobs ...

External identifier then. Cool. And for string like in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P233 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P233>? Sebastian's initial email says 1500 to 2000. Is this still a good number after this discussion? Yes, that would cover more than 99.9% of all InChIs in PubChem. (See Sebastian's reply earlier in this thread.) Egon -- E.L.
