Nikola Nikolic commented on HHH-5704:
-------------------------------------

Was this patch ever included in one of hibernate releases? I still have this this error, and I've tried versions of hibernate core up to 3.6.6.

> For all empty but not-null CLOBs MySQL drivers do the following (com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement):
> 			String forcedEncoding = this.connection.getClobCharacterEncoding();
> 			
> 			if (forcedEncoding == null) {
> 				setString(i, x.getSubString(1L, (int) x.length()));
> 			} else {

> 			}
> As you can see, getSubString is called with first argument (start) equal to 1, even if length of CLOB is 0. Of course, it's not very good, but it worked for previous versions of Hibernate. But in 3.6.0 getSubString() handling in ClobProxy introduces additional checks that prevents the code above from working:
> if ( start > getLength() ) {
>     throw new SQLException( "Start position [" + start + "] cannot exceed overall CLOB length [" + getLength() + "]" );
> }
> Thus this code will now thrown an exception if content is empty (but not null!) CLOB. Here the part of stack trace:
