[mdb-dev] mdbtools-java: truncated strings

[puma <pum...@we...>]

Hey Calvin, here's another one finding your java port very usefull.

So big thanks to you for making this one possible!


I got a little problem and hope you will be able to help.
I use mdbtools to query a mediamonkey (www.mediamonkey.com) database.
Everything worked fine till I upgraded to their new version. From then
on, some of the entries queried from "text fields" where truncated
at varying points.

Then I found out that they changed the field size of the textfields from
254 chars to 255. Resetting the field size to 254 chars by hand in access
solved the problem with the truncated strings queried from those textfields.

Is there anything I can do to read the new database version without
having to manually change the length in access?

Sorry if this is an obvious issue, I'm very new to programming and
databases.

Thanks in advance for your time
Achim
