I've looked into some of my Hibernate mapping files. Things like:
<property name="whatever" type="string" length="5000" />
should be changed to:
<property name="whatever" type="text" />

IMHO it's a bad idea to use VARCHAR columns that large. I can remember
that MSSQL 6.0 (or even 7.0?) limited VARCHAR to 255 characters. I'm
still used to creating TEXT fields for VARCHAR(>255). Maybe you can even
file a bug-report at Alfresco?
