LONGTEXT not accepting large text!

PIEBALDconsult

What database system?

Jassim Rahma

sorry, forgot to mention it.. It's MySQL

Richard Deeming

Are you sure the error relates to your LONGTEXT column? Assuming this is MySQL, the column should be able to store up to 4,294,967,295 characters.

what else it could be? I tried saving a very small image and it was find but when I save larger image in the html (less than 1 mb image) I'll get that error. this is the complete error:

How are you saving an image in an HTML string - embedded as a data URI, or something else?

base64 string like this:

![](data:image/png;base64,.........
</pre>
<div class=)

OK, that shouldn't significantly increase the size. The Base64 encoded string shouldn't be more than 1/3 larger than the raw bytes. So param_message is definitely the parameter you're using to pass the HTML? Can you post the code you're using to create the command object and its parameters?

this is the code:

this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;

// save the contact;
sql_connection = new MySqlConnection("my_connection");
sql_connection.Open();

sql_command = new MySqlCommand("sp_save_message", sql_connection);

sql_command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
sql_command.CommandTimeout = Convert.ToInt32(sql_command_timeout);

sql_command.Parameters.AddWithValue("param_message_id", message_id).MySqlDbType = MySqlDbType.Int32;
sql_command.Parameters.AddWithValue("param_message", txtMessage.HtmlText).MySqlDbType = MySqlDbType.LongText;

int result_rows = sql_command.ExecuteNonQuery();

this.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK;

OK, nothing obviously wrong there. How about the stored procedure?

you are the man :) I missed the longtext in my sp. It was text only. Now I have one more and last :) problem. How can I solve:

for using large text?

Richard Deeming

It looks like you need to change the configuration of MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/packet-too-large.html[^]

[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet=1024M

There doesn't seem to be any other way to fix that error.
