Re: mysql (client) problem: msg#00007

Subject: Re: mysql (client) problem
Of course Peter ...without success
( probably my mistake : try instead
select CHAR(65,0,65) as txt;
I want it to show AA or A A like /bin/bash and CMD.exe does )

mysql> select 'A\\0A' as txt;
+------+
| txt  |
+------+
| A\0A |
+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

That's still not what I want - I want it to be actually CHAR(0) at this position [representing array of strings \0 separated and \0\0 at end - don't ask why :) ] then I want to see rest of the field i.e. other strings
like e.g.: /bin/bash would show  AA and CMD.EXE -> A A
I just want to see rest of the field contents

P.S. I think that's implementation specific [why they choose C/C++, AFAIK Pascal doesn'h have such problems?!? - jist a joke :) ] but pretty easy to fix...

mysql client doesn't print field contents after first '\0' character
e.g.:
mysql> select 'A\0AAAAAA' as txt;
+----------+
| txt      |
+----------+
| A        |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

but
/bin/bash would print 'A\0A' as AA

or let's check another way:
mysql> create table test (txt char(8));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> insert into test values ('AAAAAAAA'), ('A\0AAAAAA');
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 2  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> select * from test;
+----------+
| txt      |
+----------+
| AAAAAAAA |
| A        |
+----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> status
