note 69695 added to function.mssql-query

NOTE that the DB library that is internally driving these functions will NOT return more than 256 characters for data types varchar are char. After SQL Server 7 they allowed for lengths of up to 8000, but never updated the library. This drove me crazy for a day (all other connectivity worked from Java and C#, just not PHP). So, switch your data type to text if you wish to have lengths more than 256 characters. I believe this is not techinically considered a bug; I checked the bug reports section and all reports on this issue were closed with a message indicating this. ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 149.169.178.66 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-query.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69695 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69695/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69695/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69695/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69695/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69695/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69695/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69695 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69695 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
