Hello Iñaki,

512 sounds a bit too large to me, this size is not used in any other fields in 
the database definitions. What about setting it to 255? Replacing the uri_len 
part with 

<size>&hf_len;</size>

should do the trick. Then just run make dbschema, and commit also the updated 
database definitions.
