#DAE press left ctrl to dismiss the screen saver on their PC because it was the "reset" key on #as400 #terminals back in the day?

I'm sure this is super common

#TIL dass die #ibm i / #as400 bei einem Query mit String-Parameter, der länger als das Feld ist, nur bis zur Feldlänge prüft.

"select * from users where username = ?" liefert also für "abcde123" und "abcde456" das selbe Ergebnis, wenn "username" ein char(5) ist und es einen Datensatz mit "abcde" gibt.

Abschalten kann man das Verhalten nicht, es gibt nur eine Warnung im Log (die man widerrum abschalten kann):

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5.0?topic=exceptions-datatruncation-silent-truncation

Je nach Kontext kann das krasse Sicherheitslücken aufreißen.

IBM Developer Kit for Java: DataTruncation and silent truncation

DataTruncation is a subclass of SQLWarning. While SQLWarnings are not thrown, DataTruncation objects are sometimes thrown and attached like other SQLWarning objects. Silent truncation occurs when the size of a column exceeds the size specified by the setMaxFieldSize statement method, but no warning or exception is reported.
