Re: [ic] state and b_state mysteriously truncated to 10 characters


Have you tried changing the setting in catroot/dbconf/mysql/userdb.msql?

We use Interchange in the UK and use the "state" and "b_state" fields to record the full name of the County.

The county/state name is frequently longer than 10 characters so we changed these database fields (we're using MySQL) to VARCHAR(32) from the default VARCHAR(10) (which perhaps not coincidently is the default in the Foundation demo?).

However, the strange thing is that the value of "state" and "b_state" collected on the checkout page seem to be truncated to 10 characters *during* processing of the order.

Now, I thought I could track down the source of the truncation by logging the value of state and b_state during the Order Route. I scattered the following tag at regular intervals in log_transaction:

[tag op=log file="logs/states" interpolate=1 hide=1]
state: [value state]
b_state: [value b_state]
[/tag]

Sure enough I can see from the log/states dump that the value starts off longer than 10 characters, but is then truncated. However, and this is the really weird thing, it seems that the truncation is being done by some code running in *parallel* with the log_transaction code! Because, if I relocate where I put the [tag op=log..] tags within log_transaction, the truncation appears to occur at different points! i.e. The truncation can't be done by code in log_transaction, but there must be something running in parallel that suddenly truncates these values.

Please please can anyone give me some clues as to what might be going on. It's got me completely stumped and confused ?-(

Any clues at all would be really appreciated.  Thanks
