Hi all,
I just want to find the SIZE of the textarea and NOT
the LENGTH of that string. Why i need this is .. I
have a database field which is of size 4k. So if i try
to insert more than 4k exception is being raised from
JSP. So i want to restrict it before storing to the
database. And i'm exploring the possiblity of writing
a database trigger if i can? Any suggestions are
welcome. My assumption is length of a string/data and
size of that string are different. I know that you can
restrict the size using maxlength from HTML side
itself. But my purpose is not that.
Any help is appreciable.
Cheers,
Venu
