sql - Rails/PostgreSQL: Adding character limit to text -

-

i want implement character limit data value on postgresql database ruby on rails application. database table looks this:

create_table "applications", force: :cascade |t|     t.string   "name"     t.string   "gender"     t.date     "date_of_birth"     t.string   "gpa"     t.text     "essay"     t.datetime "created_at",    null: false     t.datetime "updated_at",    null: false end

i want change "essay" allows 10000 characters. limited understanding of postgresql, text unlimited default whereas string 255 characters or less. thought implementing javascript conditional not let user hit submission button in client if text on 1,000 characters, of course tech savvy user change that. optimal way this?

use rails model validations - validates_length_of.

on rails end can add in application.rb file

validates_length_of :essay, :maximum => 1000

this ensure max size not exceded. keep javascript validation, since helpful users except malicious once.

also recommend change table name applications. can confused

Deploying Qt Application on Android is really slow? -

-
as may know there 3 ways deploy qt application on android : use ministro service install qt deploy local qt libraries temporary directory bundle qt libraries in apk the first method takes 30 seconds , needs install apk . ministro . second takes 1 minute me ! , anytime try run program qt creator pushes qt libraries device. third 1 makes .apk file big , again takes 1 minute me. think situation that's not reasonable develop android application using qt. there way make deploying process faster? almost full year since op , things have not changed @ all. deployment of 7 mb apk takes on minute , half project compiles in 5 seconds. reason answering not problem got resolved, offer alternative solution. i've implemented "workaround" consisting of 2 applications work in tandem - 1 on pc , 1 on device - created compile files remotely, turned out faster alternative deployment well. on host create application launches compilation in separate process, when do...
