Description

« Hide

I have table with field
"field" "Text" /* "Text" = VARCHAR(5000) */,

One record have text of about 2500 chars in this field.
If I select this record, I receive only 213 chars.

cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute('SELECT "field" from "table" where id=?', [id])
for m in cur.itermap():
print m["field"]

With kinterbasdb this works fine

I also ran into this problem. Today I played with driver code and wrote small fix, exactly like your evgeniy.

see fbcore, line 2075

elif vartype == SQL_VARYING:
                size = bytes_to_uint(sqlvar.sqldata[:1]) # ******************************
                #value = ctypes.string_at(sqlvar.sqldata[2],2+size)
                ### Todo: verify handling of P version differences
                if PYTHON_MAJOR_VER == 3:
                    value = bytes(sqlvar.sqldata[2:2 + size])
                else:
                    value = str(sqlvar.sqldata[2:2 + size])
                if ((self.__charset or PYTHON_MAJOR_VER == 3)
                    and sqlvar.sqlsubtype != 1): # non OCTETS
                    value = b2u(value,self.__python_charset)

replace selected string with
size = bytes_to_uint(sqlvar.sqldata[:2])
