[ykhan]

What are the risks of changing the field length in MySQL for fields like First Name etc? WHat will equire changing in admin.php, vicidial.php, or any other scripts?

Thanks

the filed is enought i think
for exemple for the name filed what you will put as name "255 character"
or i think the are no risk just change the vicidial.php and mysql table for this.
good chance

You might have to change vicidial.php because there are most likely some MAXLENGTH parameters in the INPUT elements which would truncate that data.

The risks are very small for changing the length. Just don't add any new fields or change their types or names or order.

And do a backup or mysqldump before you do it.

And remember what it was before you changed it so you can change it back if need be.
