Sample macro that demonstrates the bug

The sample database contains a single procedure, which demonstrates the bug when attempting to update the value of the VARCHAR_IGNORECASE field test_varchar_ignorecase in the table tblTest.

Comment 6 Jean-Pierre Ledure 2018-07-18 15:02:24 UTC
Access2Base checks the content of the Precision property (https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/ref/servicecom_1_1sun_1_1star_1_1sdbcx_1_1Column.html#a20390f2d88c0849fd6cd9d115f502e3a) of the com.sun.star.sdbcx.Column service to know the maximum allowed string length and reports an overflow error if the maximum length is exceeded.

For VARCHAR fields the Precision property contains a non-zero value, typically 2^31), while it contains 0 for VARCHAR_IGNORECASE fields.

A patch has been pushed (https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=commit;h=7ea081d9f7938c59b1f71399bf32ce3fb738ad66) on master to avoid a test on the field maximum length when the maximum length is undefined (i.e. Precision = 0).
