Re: Trouble returning a text field from an SRF

Hmm..

wktStr was the original variable name from the code, I changed it to be more
'readable' for the question I was presenting (probably not a good idea in
hindsight). The length calculation has been changed as well and what I
presented would be a few bytes short.

I have tried this using pgadmin3 (v1.6.1) and npgsql with the same results,
no data returned in the text field when the data goes over 65535 chars.
Maybe both clients are incorrectly setting a limit on a text field?

Maybe the problem is on the client side? There's no visible restriction
in the code you quoted (though I am wondering a bit about what "wktStr"
is, and whether you've computed the required size of textOut correctly).
