ID: 8340 Updated by: cynic Reported By: myers@fil.org Old-Status: Open Status: Duplicate Bug Type: ODBC related Assigned To: Comments: duplicate of #8541 fmk@php.net: This is not an error in the MS SQL extension, as you are using ODBC functions to fetch data. Microsofts new datatypes ntext nad nvarchar is not suported in the MS SQL extension, as they are not supported in Microsofts C-library. The will always be returned as a varchar with a max length of 255 bytes.

Any time I tried to select a field from the database that had the type 'ntext' it failed with this error: FATAL: emalloc(): Unable to allocate 1073741824 bytes What's weird is that this is the same amount of memory that someone ran into in bug #1299, thus I think we're on to the same bug. also check out http://lists.omnipotent.net/php3/200003/msg00552.html http://infosoc.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/php/Week-of-Mon-20000214/014693.html (in Germany... not sure what their saying but the number is the same). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8340
