odd data type
Perhaps someone already mentioned this, but the description field in the Measurement_type is a varchar(50), whereas other description fields (e.g. in measurement_unit) are text. In Recorder you are allowed to enter text freely in the description field but it is cut off when saving, a little bit annoying. Similar for short name, you can enter 40 characters but only 20 are saved.
