I searched before open this topic, sorry if it was already made. I have this problem in early project, i don't really KNOW exactly the length of varchars. And Cake don't catch MySql errors to me treat.
E.g: 1406: Data too long for column 'cargo' at row 1 This happen when i send a string long than varchar(e.g. 70). So i have to treat this every field in every model/controler and truncate the string and/or display a red tag saying that there are erros. My suggestion is, if Cake can mimic the databases, so it could *guess* what type of the field is, in this cae *varchar* of X lenght and it could *automatically* truncate it by default or leave to the programmer to decide if it is necessary do treat this manually when save datas. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
