The maximum number of columns per Database is 100.
Kahootz Tip: you cannot change a column type after creating it using a specific field, eg: "text" but now require "number" as you only want to use digits instead.
You'll have to modify the existing database by "adding a new column" and selecting the new desired "type" field, click save.
Then you'll need to re-order the database columns along with copying any existing data from the old column to the new one.
Below is a list of the maximum character (c) limit for Database fields:
Text: up to 250c is the default, but you can enter a maximum length of up to 50,000c

Database owners can put their own range (within these limits) on numeric columns.
Select one from List: up to 255c for "each" selected value
