------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jul 2 13:56:23 +0000 2008 ------- Sorry for the incomplete description. I discovered the problem using Base and the SDBC-JDBC driver with MySQL or Ingres database. To reproduce do the following test: 1. Create a table with two columns, a integer and a long varchar column. 2. To provide better performance for this test, create a form for the table, i.e. using the form assistent - make sure that you may edit rows and add rows when creating the form. The behavior is the same if you edit the table dirctly. 3. Enter data into the table using the form. Be aware that the performance is better when using the form instead of editing the table directly, but loading and saving data will be still slower then on editing a usual varchar field. You will not be able to enter more than 65535 characters. Notice that you will loss the data if you try to save it to the table. I have created issue 990884 for this. DatabaseMetadata.getTypeInfo() returns on the maximumn precision/size for long varchar 16777215 for MySQL and 0 for Ingres (probablly should be NULL instead if there is no limit). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
