What is max key length?

Hi everyone. I know there are some limitations when creating keys in tables on native db, because I once encoutered a problem, when it did not let me create new secondary keys, saying that max. total length of keys is xxx bytes. So I wonder if anyone knows better about the limitations of keys, what is actual max length and how do you calculate it from field types and lenghts you put in keys. Thanks for help.

    Hi,

    The max is 252 characters and 20 fields. Be careful as you need to add the primary key size to secondary key. Add up the length of each field to find the size of the key

    If you're working on SQL, you can also use the indexproperty "SQLIndex". If you search the forum, you will find a lot of info on how to use it.
