Varchar is not respecting MaxLength

[abraluve]

Hi,

I noticed bug where CAST(xx AS VARCHAR(32765)) is not respecting MaxLength attribute/fluent-api.

Problem should be here https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/NETProvider/blob/cf461dcdb5e0eb4e016cf5343baa913b2e8dd1a8/src/FirebirdSql.EntityFrameworkCore.Firebird/Storage/Internal/FbSqlGenerationHelper.cs#L40

as there is constant value that sets it.

SQL query:

SELECT xxx
FROM tableXXX
WHERE ColumnWithLength10 = CAST(parameter_placeholder AS VARCHAR(32765))

Input parameter has length 10 characters. If CAST is removed query works. Maybe some workaround to turn off unnecessary casts? I wonder why is it there anyway as my input parameter_placeholder is string? and ColumnWithLength10 is defined as varchar(10).

You can turn off the cast via WithExplicitParameterTypes in options.

And there's no MaxLength for parameters. The other side of comparison is not always a table column.

That works thanks.

I meant this setting

Again. That's column, not parameter.
