Increase varchar length column: db_value Table: elemnt

I'm running into the restriction of exceeding max length on the column db_value on table elemnt.

We're running some dynamic code where we put the table name in the elemnt_id and db_value column, but the db_value is restricted to 25 characters.



Is there a reason for limiting this to 25 characters? if not, please increase it.
Can you elaborate on why you don't use a (shorter) code or id for the db value?
