title: String size in Grails too big for database field
body: <p>I have Message domain class that is used to send an email to site administrators</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Message {
  
    String name
    String subject
    String body
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I thought String would not have a maximum size but when people put in messages that are too big then I see exceptions in my log files.  For now I put a constraint in to limit the size of the message to 250 but cannot make it bigger or else the save fails.  I am using PostgreSQL 9.1.1 and Grails 1.3.7.  Does anyone know a way to fix this?</p>
