Re: Cannot publish to Sharepoint - Too many columns?

SharePoint stores all its data in a SQL database. :-)

It definitely sounds like you've hit a SharePoint limitation (but what the limit is exactly might be unclear), and I wonder what Microsoft would say. Anyway,it sounds like the workaround is to reduce the number of promoted properties until it works, sorry!

sorry, im a bit of a n00b, and most of that went over my head.

According to that, is it more of a limit in the database or sharepoint itself?

I dont follow the tables / rows?

Hi- Perhaps the discussion here helps to shed some light on the issue?

Cannot publish to Sharepoint - Too many columns?

adam1v — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 06:44:23 GMT

Im trying to publish my infopath form to sharepoint which has approx ~50 columns (these are ALL required), but getting an error "cannot update library or list" which im almost certain is down to the number of columns i've mapped.

I've tried it with alot less columns and its publishing fine.

Does anyone know the limit for sharepoint, or any kind of work around?

The columns are ALL needed unfortunatly which is really bad news for me if it wont work.

p.s we have Sharepoint 2010.
