PSQLODBC.DLL - The (maximum) expected data length is 8000, while the returned data length is 9606. - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

Hello,

I’m stuck.

I’m trying to import data from PostgreSQL running on an Untangle appliance (Untangle.com) to SQL Server, but can’t seem to overcome an issue with the following error:

Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 7

OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' for linked server '(null)' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[MSDASQL].uri'. The (maximum) expected data length is 8000, while the returned data length is 9606.

Even after increasing the MaxLongVarcharSize as in the following select statement, I still get this same error with the value of 8000.

select * from openrowset('MSDASQL', 'Dsn=PostgreSQL35W;MaxLongVarcharSize=16000;', 'select * from reports.http_events')

I’ve also tried this one:

select * from openrowset('MSDASQL', 'Driver=PostgreSQL Unicode(x64);uid=postgres;Server=10.5.55.1;port=5432;database=uvm;MaxLongVarChar=16000;',

From a “pg_dump” of schema:
