this is a configuration issue.  Question is: where do I find/set that?

His network OS is Windows 2016 Server.  My web database is using a

Here's the weird fix:  instead of using a MEDIUMTEXT field, it worked
just fine when I changed it to TEXT fields.  Now MEDIUMTEXT is
supposed to handle LARGER #s of characters, but in this case, just
TEXT should suffice.

Still...wonder why the ODBC (originally 3.51, then I upgraded to the
latest 64-bit MariaDB driver) has a problem with MEDIUMTEXT on this
Windows 2016 Server?  My other database (where no issues at all)
operates on a Debian Linux OS.

Thoughts?



No takers on this one. Look at the solution above.  Thoughts on why TEXT 
worked and not MEDIUMTEXT (which is larger than TEXT iirc)?
