in thread Perl Database Select Results Being Truncated

The 255 char limit was dropped in 12.5, and is now raised to a few bytes shorter than a page (a page being 2k, 4k, 8k or 16k).

However as I mentioned above, because this change requires a change in the protocol between client and server you need to have a (relatively) recent version of the client for this to work correctly.

    That did it...thank you so much for the help. I was pointing to older versions of the perl executable, and once I updated to versino 5.8.3, it worked the first time.

    Thanks again for the help.
