record sequence fields

[David Wilson]

Simon Plouffe tells me that a certain word I used the the subject of
my last post is a spam target and might cause the mail (or the site)
to be identified as spam.  My apologies, I was not aware of this in
regard to the particular word I used.  Anyway, here is the same mail
again with a less spammy subject.


In order to try to gain some marketable talents, I have been teaching
myself database skills.  As an exercise, I am attempting to convert
the OEIS to a MySQL database.  In order to allocate fields, I have
computed the maximum size of various sequence entries.

Here are the awards for the biggest (most bloated?) sequence entries.
Character counts for lines are as in the raw database, excluding the
initial label, sequence number, and surrounding whitespace, but including
any embedded markup.

Largest number of elements: A064533 (232 elements)
Longest single element:     A019439 (196 chars)
Longest total sequence:     A064955 (669 chars)
Longest name:               A076740 (641 chars)
Longest reference line:     A002294 (408 chars)
Longest links line:         A007828 (505 chars)
Longest formula:            A001500 (1508 chars)
Longest crossref line:      A062254 (632 chars)
Longest author line:        A013583 (202 chars)
Largest initial index:      A060958 (2001)
Longest extension line:     A062167 (625 chars)
Longest example line:       A059933 (1093 chars)
Longest program line:       A070050 (1495 chars)
Longest comment line:       A075886 (2148 chars)
