[php-maint] Bug#769127: php5-odbc: last digit missing and being replaced by something that looked like 2 Zerobytes

[kurt kuene]

Package: php5-odbc
Version: 5.4.34-0+deb7u1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss

Dear Maintainer,

we used it to connect to a sql server 2012

/etc/freetds/freetds.conf: unmodified

we used the following dsn to connect:
"DRIVER=TDS;TEXTSIZE=4096000;DATABASE=example;SERVER=db.example.com;PORT=1234"

we connect using this method:
odbc_pconnect()

we sent the following sql statements to configure our db link:
set dateformat ymd; 
set textsize 4096000;
set concat_null_yields_null on;
set ansi_nulls on;
set ansi_null_dflt_on on;
set ansi_padding on;
set implicit_transactions off;
set quoted_identifier on

we encountered strange results when querying a db view:

Q1 (query 1): "select * from example_view"
Q2 (query 2): "select id from example_view"

the view "example_view" contains an INT field named "id".

the result of Q1:
the ID field was returned with the last digit missing and being replaced by something that looked like 2 Zerobytes \0\0

the result of Q2:
the ID field was returned correctly.
