Thanks for the feedback. The row size (and max number of columns of 4096) is a limit enforced by the mariadb server derived from the original mysql code base.
I understand, but let's agree than the TEXT and BLOB columns are no limited by the row limit size of 65536 bytes and to have a limit of 300 max columns is very different than 4096
Also the best way for you and the community to help us in prioritizing improvements and bugs is to use the jira 'vote for this issue' function on the improvements to indicate this would be something that would be beneficial to your use case.
