Hello. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use DBI; my $db_name = "test.db"; unlink $db_name; my $dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:SQLite:dbname=$db_name", "", "" ); my $table = "test"; $dbh->do( "CREATE TABLE $table ( foo LONGBLOB )" ); my $sth = $dbh->prepare("REPLACE INTO $table (foo) VALUES (?)"); my $data = pack ("H12s", "stringstring", 2); print "Before: " . length($data) . "\n"; $sth->execute( $data ); my $test = $dbh->selectrow_array( "SELECT foo FROM $table" ); print "After: " . (length $test) . "\n"; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This code gives before: 5, after: 8. The equivalent code with MySQL gives 8 both before and after. Printing out $data and $test reveals that with the SQLite code, $test is missing something that vim renders as '^@' off the end. Is there a way of making SQLite behave in the same way as MySQL? Kake PS Yes I know sqlite is typeless; replace LONGBLOB in the above with whatever you like, same problem.
