Question

I have this entity

[AutoIncrement(), PrimaryKey()]
public int Id { get; set; }

public string Guid { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }

I am creating table in DB against this entity like this

connection.CreateTableAsync<MyEntity>();

This creates a table with a varchar(140) column against Value property. Now I would like to replace varchar(140) with Text datatype of SQLite.

What data type should I use in Value property so that it ends up at Text column in my SQLite DB table?

on behalf of @CL What is the maximum size of a VARCHAR

(9) What is the maximum size of a VARCHAR in SQLite?

SQLite does not enforce the length of a VARCHAR. You can declare a
VARCHAR(10) and SQLite will be happy to let you put 500 characters in
it. And it will keep all 500 characters intact – it never truncates.
