我通常会选择:

名字:30个字符 姓氏:30个字符 电子邮件:50个字符 地址:200个字符

如果我担心名称字段太长，我有时也会将名称字段设置为50，因为现在存储空间很少成为问题。

Just looking though my email archives, there are a number of pretty long "first" names (of course what is meant by first is variable by culture). One example is Krishnamurthy - which is 13 letters long. A good guess might be 20 to 25 letters based on this. Email should be much longer since you might have firstname.lastname@somedomain.com. Also, gmail and some other mail programs allow you to use firstname.lastname+sometag@somedomain.com where "sometag" is anything you want to put there so that you can use it to sort incoming emails. I frequently run into web forms that don't allow me to put in my full email address without considering any tags. So, if you need a fixed email field maybe something like 25.25+15@20.3 in characters for a total of 90 characters (if I did my math right!).

英国政府数据标准目录详细说明了这类事情的英国标准。 它建议“名”和“姓”各有35个字符，“全名”为70个字符，“电子邮件地址”为255个字符。除此之外…

编辑:增加了一些间距

我想找到同样的答案，在公认的答案中提到的英国政府数据标准听起来很理想。然而，这些似乎都不存在了——经过长时间的搜索，我在一个存档中找到了它:http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/+/http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/govtalk/schemasstandards/e-gif/datastandards.aspx。需要下载zip，解压，然后在html文件夹中打开default.htm。

是varchar，对吧?所以不管你用50个还是25个，为了安全起见，最好用50个，我认为我见过的最长的是19个左右。姓更长
