String constants are limited to 255 characters, and character fields in table are limited to 254. String variables that are longer can be constructed through various means (such as concatenation), though there may be some built-in functions that fail when passed strings with more than 16,777,184 characters. If I'm not mistaken you can get up to nearly 2GB length in strings (2GB would be the normal limit for most 32-bit programs).
