Hi all,
I have a problem when inserting into a varchar field via jdbc.
Using to bytes makes the varchar fields shorten.
Example: with 7.4.5. on Linux
create table test(charfield varchar(5));
insert into test(charfield) values('abcde');
insert into test(charfield) values('üö');select bit_length(charfield), length(charfield), charfield from test
bit_length length charfield ------------- --------- ------------ 40 5 abcde 32 4 üö
insert into test(charfield) values('üäö');
Error: ERROR: value too long for type character varying(5)Doing the same on Windows with the fresh 8.0 beta 2 shows a different behaviour.
create table test(charfield varchar(5)); insert into test(charfield) values('abcde'); insert into test(charfield) values('üöüöä');
select bit_length(charfield), length(charfield), charfield from test
bit_length length charfield ------------- --------- ------------ 40 5 abcde 80 5 üöüöä
'length' seems to account the 16 bit character length.
Is there a way to make this work in 7.4.x too?
May problem is that we are in a rush to do a port of our application from informix and I will not be able to wait until 8.0 will be released.
BTW, both database servers where queried with the same JDBC driver (version).
Best regards,
Michael
