Retrieving LONGTEXT columns with C prepared statement API
Posted by: Alex Simpson

When binding prepared statement results, a buffer needs to be supplied to hold the result.

If I want to retrieve a column of LONGTEXT that is usually a few kilobytes but may occasionally be a lot larger, do I have to pass the full maximum buffer size, or is there a better way? To handle all possible results, I'd have to be passing a buffer of 4GiB for each LONGTEXT column!

I realise that supplying a smaller buffer will give me a truncation error and the actual length. I think that I could then rebind the result buffers and execute the whole query again. Is there a more optimal way?
