Name
LongTruncOk ( boolean, inherited)
Synopsis
This attribute may be used to control the
effect of fetching a long field value that has been truncated
(typically because it’s longer than the value of the
LongReadLen attribute).
By default, LongTruncOk is false, and so fetching
a long value that needs to be truncated will cause the fetch to fail.
(Applications should always be sure to check for errors after a fetch
loop in case an error, such as a divide by zero or long field
truncation, caused the fetch to terminate prematurely.)
If a fetch fails due to a long field truncation when
LongTruncOk is false, many drivers will allow you
to continue fetching further rows.
See also LongReadLen.
