Issue ID: 127350
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Table design: can't change length of Postgresql char
types
Product: Base
Version: 4.2.0-dev
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: CONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: code
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: dam...@apache.org
Target Milestone: ---
Connect to a Postgresql server using its JDBC driver and the usual URL of the
form "jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1/database".
In "Tables", "Create Table in Design View..."
Try create a column of type "Text [varchar]", and "Length" will be frozen at
10485760.
Try create a column of type "Text (fix) [char]", and "Length" won't even
appear.
Problem is the method OFieldDescControl::DisplayData() in
main/dbaccess/source/ui/control/FieldDescControl.cxx, which will deactivate the
tpTextLen if pFieldType->nPrecision is 0, which it is for "Text (fix) [char]",
and which will call pTextLen->SetSpecialReadOnly(true) when
pFieldType->aCreateParams.getLength() is 0, which it is for "Text [varchar]".
It is possible to hack this method, but that will affect all databases. We
should rather make a Postgresql driver under main/connectivity/source/drivers
that implements such fixes for Postgresql only (like we already have for
several other databases).
