Summary07745: Increase database limit by joining tables
Description

Personally I haven't had the problem yet, but in the support forums I see it a lot: People are running into the limits of their database either because they have a lot of questions in their survey or they have long answer lists in their survey.

Even if I am no friend of long surveys and long answer lists, it would be great if we could have a feature that allows to add another database table to increase the number of possible columns per survey.

TagsNo tags attached.

This is a pretty old topic, but it is still relevant.

In the meanwhile I had encountered a project that I thought I could run with Limesurvey. It was a pretty simple questionnaire on first sight, only 5 questions. But with these 5 questions (due to repetion, array and multiple choice questions) I could not create the questionnaire in Limesurvey, because I would quickly reach the column limit.

Here also another real live example of Limesurvey reaching it column limits:
