I want to use Facebook’s third party id as an index in sql.
It is obviously some type of string, however I am not sure if I should expect it to always be a certain or at least maximum length.

the third_party_id is around 28 characters but I wouldn’t rely on this: if Facebook didn’t release more information about it it’s because they want to have the ability to change it (let’s say in case a third party was able to regenerate the Facebook Id from the third_party_id). I would just use a nvarchar(50).
