Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-334:
----------------------------------------
Checked in a number of changes across the board. Most notable is that the
MySQL JDBC driver's maxCharLength field is completely bogus and returns values
that are essentially random. We *were* using this field generally to insure
that returned values did not exceed their schema length, but I'm going to have
to discontinue use (or conditionalize it) in order to support MySQL.
Once all that was done, the tests are still failing because the crawl still
hangs. Reason is unclear. The basic problem now is that when a document is in
the "pending" state and the job is "active" we still don't get any processing
activity. There are no exceptions - just no documents. The stuffer query must
therefore be acting differently on MySQL than on every other database.
This has been the hardest database port we've yet attempted for ManifoldCF.
MySQL is incredibly idiosyncratic and appears to do many things in a manner
wholly its own. It may therefore be quite some time before this all works.
