Are you sure that truncation is done in sqlobject? what database are you using? if its mysql, chances are the truncation happened there ( you can set it to use 'traditional sql' to give you warnings on that if you're running mysql5+) mysql is awful about that.
Aside from that, I think the issue is more of a problem with Unicode -- unicode doesn't store every charcter with the same required space ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 ). The ascii strings aren't re-encoded for legacy support -- so if you wanted a UnicodeCol of 100 characters , you'd really have to set the schema to be ( 100 x Max Storage Requirement for UTF Version ) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
