[teiid-designer-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIIDDES-2061) char[n+] field is truncated by importer

char[n+] field is truncated by importer --------------------------------------- Key: TEIIDDES-2061 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-2061 Project: Teiid Designer Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Import/Export Affects Versions: 8.3.1 Reporter: Johnathon Lee Attachments: testErrors.vdb truncation of Char[>1] fields to one character. reproduction with simple VDB (to be attached): SELECT asChar,asVarChar,asInt FROM "TestErrors"."TruncateCHAR"; the "asChar" field only returns a "C" and the asVarChar returns the complete value. That is the expected behavior, per the Data Virtualization Reference Manual, char datatype is a single Unicode character (java.lang.Character). However, the importer may need to check for the occurrence of char[n+] and not assume char[1].
