All
Before submitting the following issue as a bug report,
I wanted to run it by this list, in order to:
a) Check that I am not missing something.
b) Get an opinion on whether the issue is with DBI or DBD::Sybase.
My toolchain is as follows:
Perl v5.8.0
DBI v1.35
DBD::Sybase v0.95
Sybase ASE v12.5.0.2 EBF 10574
Solaris v8
When I run the following Perl program:
======================================
#!/sbcimp/run/pd/perl/5.8.0/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Sybase:server={server}", '{user}', '{pwd}');
printf "SQL: ${_}DATA: *%s*\n\n", $dbh->selectall_arrayref($_)->[0][0] foreach <DATA>;
__END__
select "foo " from master..sysengines
select "foo " order by 1
select "foo " from master..sysengines order by 1
======================================
(having replaced {server}, {user} and {pwd}, obviously)
I get the following output:
======================================
SQL: select "foo " from master..sysengines
DATA: *foo *
SQL: select "foo " order by 1
DATA: *foo *
SQL: select "foo " from master..sysengines order by 1
DATA: *foo*
======================================
The issue is that trailing whitespace has been truncated
from the last output.
When the same SQL is run using isql, the output is as expected.
So, this appears to be an issue either with DBI or with DBD::Sybase.
While attempting to diagnose the problem for myself, I came across
the ChopBlanks DBI attribute. However, this does not appear to be
relevant and, in any case, I tried setting it to false explicitly
and this did not make any difference.
Any advice/comment would be much appreciated.
Best wishes
Kevin
