Row size too large - can't drop columns

[Claudia Pellegr]

Hello, 

when creating new fields in a custom table I had this issue:

"Syntax Error or Access Rule Violation detected by database ((conn=1069664) Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs)".

As a result, the field was created, but the label was "invisible" in the list.

Is there any workaround which doesn't involve dropping unused or unnecessary columns? 

Thank you.
