Thread: Query truncated in Server Status
In the Server Status program, long queries get truncated.
Pressing Ctrl-C or the Copy button on a recent query put this in the clipboard:
9368 de 34132 postgres 6/528 AccessShareLock Yes 2012-02-18 18:46:14.759-06 select distinct case when upper(geometrytype("the_geom")) IN ('POINT','MULTIPOINT') THEN 'POINT' when upper(geometrytype("the_geom")) IN ('LINESTRING','MULTILINESTRING') THEN 'LINESTRING' when upper(geometrytype("the_geom")) IN ('POLYGON','MULTIPOLYG
Looks like the query got truncated at the 250th character. I've reproduced on other queries.
I'm OK if the query needs to be truncated to fit in the UI, but the whole query ought to be copied to the clipboard. This is making it challenging for me to analyze a problematic Quantum GIS query.

Hmm, the magical number is not 250 characters. This query got truncated at character 374:
8640 Quantum GIS de postgres ::1:60281 2012-02-18 18:56:15.869-06 2012-02-18 18:56:15.893-06 2012-02-18 18:56:15.893-06 select distinct case when upper(geometrytype("the_geom")) IN ('POINT','MULTIPOINT') THEN 'POINT' when upper(geometrytype("the_geom")) IN ('LINESTRING','MULTILINESTRING') THEN 'LINESTRING' when upper(geometrytype("the_geom")) IN ('POLYGON','MULTIPOLYGON') THEN 'POLYGON' end from (select "the_geom" from "raw"."dallas_rlc_summary" where "the_geom" is not null limit 100) as t

I suppose you work on Windows. The widget we use on Windows truncates
silently all strings to 512 characters. It means we need to fix this
(just as we did for the table properties dialog which suffered the same
issue).
To be complete, you have to know that even PostgreSQL truncates the
query in the pg_stat_activity stats catalog. By default to 1024
characters. So if your queries are longer than that, there's nothing we
can do.
Working on a fix right now.

OK, it's fixed now.
While working on this, I found another bug (you couldn't copy a query if
there was no application name for server 9.0+). Fixed too.

Thanks! Yes, I am using Windows.
