Option value maximum # of characters

I actually found this once before but can not now. I have some option values that require about 70 characters but can not find where I can increase this value. Currently I am allowed 64. Maybe I am just too tired........

You will make the change in the database:

1. Cpanel
2. Click on databases
3. phpMyAdmin
4. left hand pane, click your database Name
5. Scroll down the files until you find products_option_values, click it
6. check the box, products_option_values_names
7. edit the file
8. change from 64 to 70

Changing this will not cause a loss of data in that field? This happened to me before... I have a backup and am very familiar with the restore procedure (much too familiar!!!).
