Hi,
postgresql has basically three data char datatypes
varchar(length)
char(length)
text
. The last datatype is a string of unlimited length which does not take a
precision (and is correctly reflected to -1 in precision).
The database wizard within the office has stored sql type and precision for
every datafield within the wizard. On runtime, it matches the varchar type to a
database dependent type name with the method
wizards/com/sun/star/wizards/db/ColumnPropertySet.java:setType()
, but it does not take into account the precision. In the concrete case, a
column of SDBC type varchar and precision 50 is matched to the "text" datatype
which is wrong, it must be matched to varchar(50), thats a bug within OOo's
wizard.
The problem cannot be fixed within postgresql driver (i could check for the text
type and ignore a given precision, but this would lead to a text column instead
of the desired varchar(n), which is still wrong).
I may create a patch for it in the next days, but I then need to find someone to
get it into OOos sourcetree.
Bye,
Joerg
