PHP Bug: Oracle field name truncated to 15 characters using ODBC/Instantclient
Have anyone else experience this bug/issue?
Compiled PHP 5.2.5 with Apache 2.2.6 with UnixODBC support and other
standard options.
ODBC connection was set up using Instantclient version 10.2.0.3 ODBC
driver. When tested using isql, the output was OK but when execute using
PHP, the fields name truncated to only 15 chars resulting "Undefined
Index" notice. This may be a notice but has huge impact on the system.
for example:
SS_SUBJECT_STATUS truncated to SS_SUBJECT_STAT.
Surprisingly, it seems that I'm alone. The closest article i found was
field name limited to 30 chars but that is for MSSQL. Setting the
defaultlrl also not working as the problem is in the field name, not the
content.
If you have any suggest, feel free to drop a comment here.
Quick Note (1)
I'm not back from hiatus, still am busy with day and night job which most likely end somewhere in the middle of December. However I have setup a dedicated website for Savvy.UI (or best known here as Savvy.JS) at SavvyUI.com to host development update as well as documentation for Savvy.UI. ChronoSight Wiki and ChronoSight Forum may be brought down temporarily unless I can make time to continue the development of ChronoSight.CMS. Some people keep asking me to release the CMS but it just not fully functional for general usage.
What make it worst, I just come out with a new idea for a new project which combine both PHP and JavaScript (namely Savvy.UI). The concept to the idea isn't new and there a number of group already have a working prototype and running system but all of it (As Far As I Know) are webservice and what I intent to do is actually public release version where everyone can download and install at their own hosting. Anyone interested to join me on this project?
Oracle Madness
Here's my first PHP project with Oracle database and not to forget Savvy.js. Now let me get back to my work.
The Teeeeension Begin
This would be yet another busy week I have to endure, our company have been invited to make a PoC presentation at Labuan next Tuesday. As usual I would be developing and upgrading our current available solution especially on CMS and eDMS, to make thing interesting our company is holding a family day at Melaka but with this popping out of no where we have no choice but to stay back and do our job but we will be joining them for the dinner tomorrow night.
Hopefully everything goes well with the preparation as well as the presentation itself, so now I need to get back to my work.
