Create a column with varchar(max) rather than varchar(8000)

Question

How can I create a column in a table and specify it as varchar(max) when using servicestack ormlite?

Currently I execute some sql after the table create to get what I want. I've seen the StringLength attribute but was wondering if there's a nicer way of doing it?

Something like

StringLength(Sql.VarcharMax)

Thanks

Worked around the issue by doing the following

 if (!db.TableExists(typeof(Entity).Name))
 {
   db.CreateTableIfNotExists<Entity>();
   db.ExecuteSql("ALTER TABLE Entity ALTER COLUMN Column VARCHAR(MAX)");
 }
