Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/18616 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/18616 Project: Drupal Version: 4.6.3 Component: database system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: plj Updated by: Cvbge Status: patch (code needs work) Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/role.name_64.diff (2.61 KB) I have not tested mysql's update, but I think it should work. Cvbge Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wed, 09 Mar 2005 13:38:12 +0000 : plj The Postgresql database script shipped with Drupal 4.5.2 has a 32 characters long varchar value for role name. The relevant UI form field, however, has attribute maxlength="64". This naturally causes an SQL error, if too long name is entered. The SQL part is still same in CVS version, but I don't know if the UI part has been fixed. Related SQL: CREATE TABLE role ( rid SERIAL, name varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (rid), UNIQUE (name) ); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 28 Jun 2005 16:51:15 +0000 : plj Changing version to 4.6.1, and component to database system (perhaps more relevant than user system), as the problem still exists. It also seems that the length of the field in question is only 32 in both database.mysql and database.pgsql, even though the UI allows 64. Either UI or the database scripts should be fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 28 Jun 2005 17:06:18 +0000 : plj Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/database_1.patch (660 bytes) On a second thought, here is a patch against both DBs. Both are untested, but the change is tiny. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 06 Aug 2005 20:36:10 +0000 : Cvbge There should be also a patch for database/updates.inc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 15 Aug 2005 11:20:09 +0000 : plj I've no idea how the update.inc's update numbering works. But it should excecute a statement like this: alter table role alter column name type varchar(64)
