Re: Probems with LONG datatypes and DBD

The later versions of DBD-Oracle report an error by default if a long value is truncated during a fetch (only the first 80 bytes are fetched by default). There is DBD property to disable this: I think it is something like long_trunc_ok.
ie. to allow truncation of longs:
$db->long_trunc_ok = 1;

You should be able to find details in the DBD-Oracle documentation.
