Description Gabe O'Brien

Currently when you refactor a database the values for a length of the varchar field are not checked.  The code seems to verify that the varchar length is a decimal, but make no attempt to compare the length in the database to the length specified in the current schema.  This can lead to some serious data loss with data being truncated.

This is fixed in the new refactoring engine, but that engine is not yet part of the Portal.
