Re^2: dbi odbc return string getting truncated

Thanks for the response. As Alexander said AS is optional and no FROM is like selecting single columns. I just want to keep example simple. I'm selecting single string column from the database and it's getting truncated, when I connect from isql to ODBC connection it's fine, so I assume that the problem is with DBI/perl. I don't have enough knowledge about perl to debug this - is there any tracing available for DBI?

is there any tracing available for DBI? Yes, there is. Just open up the DBI docs and search for tracing.	[reply]

- is there any tracing available for DBI? Yes! There is tracing built in to DBI. It's right there in the documentation. Alex / talexb / Toronto Thanks PJ. We owe you so much. Groklaw -- RIP -- 2003 to 2013.	[reply]

Tracing gives me that: `<- fetchrow_arrayref= ( [ 'S...T...A.........' ] ) [1 items] row1 at + test.perl line 36 STA` [download] Which is strange, because when I execute it on PostgreSQL it gives: `<- fetchrow_arrayref= ( [ 'STARTEND' ] ) [1 items] row1 at pgtest.pe +rl line 36 STARTEND` [download] Is it a Unicode problem?

`cast(<whatever> as string)` is not valid postgres. You probably want to cast( ... as text).	[reply] [d/l]
