Gary Gregory created LOG4J2-2509: ------------------------------------ Summary: Allow a JDBC Appender to truncate strings to match a table's metadata column length limit Key: LOG4J2-2509 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2509 Project: Log4j 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Appenders Reporter: Gary Gregory Assignee: Gary Gregory Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.11.2
Allow a JDBC Appender to truncate strings to match a table's metadata column length limit. Some databases like MySQL can be configured to cause SQL INSERT statements to fail when data for a column exceeds the length of a column definition. In the case of MySQL 8, this is the default configuration, and asking a DB admin to change this to accommodate an application is not reasonable. This feature would add a new attribute on the {{JdbcAppender}} called {{truncateStrings}} which would do so. This would be set to true by default for a smooth initial impression. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
