Django users,
Is there a default max length for TextField which is enforced in the
database? We are using PostgreSQL and I don't want users (hackers) to
flood our database with megabytes of meaningless text.

In your model create a clean() method. If it exists [1] this is called
by django forms prior to a save. If you access the field via an API or
unit tests you have to call it specifically. In there you can test for a
maximum size - or anything else really.
class SomeModel(models.Model):
long_text = models.TextField()
def clean(self):
txt = self.long_text or ""
if len(txt) > 100000000:
# this needs to be reported to the user because it will
prevent saving
# happens automatically in the Admin ...
raise ValidationError("Too much meaningless text")
