Folks,

On a related point, I'm not sure how to implement
ISChemaCapabilities::GetMaximumDataValueLength().

Is this method just used when creating new fields?  I see the shape
provider returns -1 for some field types.  Does this imply unlimited
or unsupported?

For my raster provider the upper size of a BLOB is in theory 2^63 or
so.  Should I return that?

Best regards,
