I was facing a strange problem and would be extremely glad if some one could help me out .
I am using PostGreSQL 7.1 . I know its an old one but our product works on this & the management is reluctant to upgrade. Here i am seeing that for one particular query the values are not getting inserted into the database . However the strange thing is it does not throw an exception . ( We do have exception handling in place ) . However if i log into the db & manually insert it into the database it goes through . I am confused . Is it because of PQexec failing . ? I read that PQexec fails only when a ) there is no memory ( what memory , how can i check ) b ) when the connection with the server is not being made . Can anyone help me out with this problem .
also additionally while creating the database . If i have a column as character varying (n) what happens if the n is exceeded . Can this be realted to the above problem .
