[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-745?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Fay Wang updated OPENJPA-745: ----------------------------- Description: By default, Sybase silently truncates a string which is longer than the column length without raising an exception. To override this behavior, string_rtruncation must be set on. In order to be consistent with other databases (which raise exceptions when a string length is longer than the column length), we will set string_rtruncation on by default for Sybase. For an application that wants to keep Sybase silent truncation behavior, a DBDictionary property "setStringRightTruncationOn" is introduced. When it is set to false in the persistence.xml, the string will be silently truncated during insert/update. (was: By default, Sybase silently truncates a string which is longer than the column length without raising an exception. To override this behavior, string_rtruncation must be set on. In order to be consistent with other databases, we will set string_rtruncation on as a default. If the application wants to keep Sybase silent truncation behavior, it has to set this property to false. A DBDictionary property "setStringRightTruncationOn" is instroduced so that application can set it to false in the persistence.xml. ) > Sybase by default silently truncates a string which is longer than the column length without raising an exception > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: OPENJPA-745 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-745 > Project: OpenJPA > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 > Reporter: Fay Wang > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.2.1, 1.3.0 > > > By default, Sybase silently truncates a string which is longer than the column length without raising an exception.
