There is no simple answer to that. There are a lot of database applications and they would use different sizes. Older versions of the same software would use shorter amounts and future versions will further extend them. They allow hundreds, even thousands of characters. As a general rule though, when entering data into a text field in a database, it should be as specific and simple as possible and so not take up too much space. That will make the data easier to work with.

What is a database fieldlength?

The field length determines two things: how much space the field takes up in storage and how much data the field can hold. For example, a text field's length would indicate the maximum number of characters the field could hold and the corresponding amount of storage each field uses. Some field types (like date and boolean fields) have set field lengths that need not be specified.
