ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated

[miwi]

Hi all,

I just got a strange problem when I open a dataset that just contains some double values. For this special combination of values in the table, I get the above error message on Open() with both dbexpoda 2.50 and 3.00.

(Borland's dbexpora does not bring up the error although it fetches a complete mess, but that's another story.)

Can anyone please try to reproduce the problem in order to avoid a configuration problem on my side, and can anyone give me a hint how to avoid the error?

To reproduce, use a form with a TSQLConnection, a TSQLDataset, and a Label. Setup, creating the test table and querying is described in code below. When querying, indside Open() I get the exception.

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.Connect;
begin
  SQLConnection1.DriverName := 'foobar';
  SQLConnection1.GetDriverFunc := 'getSQLDriverORA';
  SQLConnection1.LibraryName := 'dbexpoda.dll';
  SQLConnection1.VendorLib := 'oci.dll';
  SQLConnection1.Params.CommaText := 'database=yourdb,user_name=user,password=secret';
end;

procedure TForm1.CreateTable;
const
  data: array[0..24] of Double = (
    3.8121804695004, 3.81220901917724, 0.290935806125078, 3.81220901917724,
    0.00920139858130051, 1.90610450958862, 0, 7.51498895111909E-42, 0, 0,
    0, 0, 0, 0.00462496303100731, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.00242810559169161, 0,
    4.12770390730889E-21, 2.35868794703365E-21, 1.27053649198811
  );
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  SQLConnection1.ExecuteDirect('drop table mw_test');
  SQLConnection1.ExecuteDirect('create table mw_test (x float)');
  SQLDataSet1.CommandText := 'insert into mw_test (x) values (:x)';
  for i := 0 to High(data) do begin
    SQLDataSet1.ParamByName('x').Value := data[i];
    SQLDataSet1.ExecSQL;
  end;
end;

procedure TForm1.QueryTable;
var
  S: String;
begin
  SQLDataSet1.CommandText := 'select * from mw_test';
  SQLDataSet1.Open;
  S := '';
  while not SQLDataSet1.Eof do begin
    S := S + SQLDataSet1.Fields[0].AsString + #13#10;
    SQLDataSet1.Next;
  end;
  Label1.Caption := S;
end;

Thans in advance.

You can open the query if you disable using BCD in driver. Set coEnableBCD option in SQLConnection to False.

Code: Select all

const
  coEnableBCD = TSQLConnectionOption(102);

// call after connection is opened
  SQLConnection1.SQLConnection.SetOption(coEnableBCD, 0);

That works fine. Thank you very much.
