Text arrays fails with MaxVarCharSize > 16383

Hi all,

I have encountered a strange problem when using text arrays and setting
MaxVarCharSize > 16383 (or -4). The data does not get received through
the ODBC and the log shows a strange error. It appears that it tries to
convert the array to an SQL_C_BINARY (log attached).

To recreate the problem I created a small test table:
CREATE TABLE test (c text[]);
INSERT INTO test(c) VALUES ('{"Hello world"}');

And through my (Windows) app I selected * from test. When having
MaxVarCharSize <= 16383 it works and I get ‘{“Hello world”}’ back, but
setting it to –4 (unlimited length) or > 16383 I get an empty string and
an error in the log.

I’m using PostgreSQL 8.1.3 and ODBC 08.01.0200.

Best regards,

Åsmund Kveim Lie
