ID: 46954 User updated by: thuejk at gmail dot com Reported By: thuejk at gmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: PostgreSQL related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.8 New Comment:
Hmm, which of course will not work since the database we are actually connecting to may have a different length compiled in. But perhaps there is a way to ask the database what its NAMEDATALEN is. (though I can't find it just now) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-02 14:37:06] thuejk at gmail dot com The maximum length of the name is NAMEDATALEN-1 - see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/sql-syntax-lexical.html . I assume that constant is available in the postgresql include files. Unless manually overwritten, NAMEDATALEN is 64. In the example above, the name was also truncated to length 63. Using NAMEDATALEN, it should be trivial to manually add the warning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-01 19:35:02] il...@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The truncation is done by Postgre and the PQPrepare() function does not provide any indicators about truncation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-12-27 15:17:26] thuejk at gmail dot com Description: ------------ When using pg_prepare(string $stmtname, string $query) with a very long $stmtname, the $stmtname will be silently truncated. It would be nice if PHP emitted an E_NOTICE, as postgresql itself does: psql=> PREPARE abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz as SELECT NOW(); NOTICE: identifier "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" will be truncated to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk" PREPARE Note that it is a sane idea to try to use the query itself as $stmtname (less bookkeeping), which naturally leads to trying large $stmtname's. Reproduce code: --------------- pg_connect(...); pg_prepare("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1", "SELECT 1"); pg_prepare("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 2", "SELECT 2"); Expected result: ---------------- An E_NOTICE because the name was truncated. Actual result: -------------- No E_NOTICE. pg_prepare() [function.pg-prepare]: Query failed: ERROR: prepared statement "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 2" already exists ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46954&edit=1
