User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
In #__user_profiles table profile_value has been defined as varchar(255). This makes it quite limited for many custom fields which could be added to it, like various user descriptions. With this change the field is altered to text type instead, to enable storing of longer values.
No impact on the current entries. To test, enable user profile plugin, insert a few custom values, save, apply sql, make sure nothing changed, then apply some more changes to the profile.

This patch is ok for upgrades but dont you also have to update the sql scripts in the /installation for new installs
Yarp
Right, updated the installation files as well, thanks to both of you
I like this change, I also encountered some limitations with this field. Please update the PR with the lastest update SQL files and then we can add this.

Don't forget to do this for the other db types as well (if needed - I haven't checked)
