Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-3341:
----------------------------------------------
The issue is not limited to String values that are too long, it's a generic
issue for any variable length types.
A ResultSet returning the String "A" for a CHAR(5) is also incorrect, similar
for DECIMAL values with smaller scale than defined.
Currently Java functions do silently truncate VARCHAR and CHAR values that are
too long, not sure that's correct but I can't yet find any clear indication in
the SQL spec (part 13) of what is meant to happen.
> TABLE FUNCTION returning CHAR values does not return a correct value if the
> Java ResultSet class returns a value less than the length of the defined CHAR.

> Defining a column in the returned type as CHAR(10) requires that the returned
> value be of length 10 characters.
> Defining a table function with a return type of:
> returns TABLE column0 char( 10 ), column1 char( 10 ))
> seems to just return whatever the Java ResultSet implementation handed it.
> My guess this is true for all variable length types, no casting of the value
> occurs when it is returned to the SQL domain.
> Java single value functions and procedure out parameters do perform any
> required casting to ensure the value is of the declared type.
