It's not queried so it doesn't really matter in this case but yeah, in general it does matter, great point!
We don't have length CHECK constraints in the database, so it's one of those things that it's still only at the application level
It would mean that the hash needs to be updated at the code level at each "article save", which means that we're back to depending on Rails to check uniqueness
Hope this clears a bit :) Great questions!

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
