[RESOLVED] Data truncated for column 'columnname' at row 1

Hello,


I am using MySQL database connected to Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition. I have a checkbox and textboxes on a Winform VB.Net. In my MySQL database, the datatype of the Status checkbox is ENUM('T','F'). I have some vb.net code to update changes in the form.

The vb.net code is:

Code:

---

Private Sub UpdateStatus(Optional messages As Boolean = True)
  Dim query = "UPDATE Plans Set Status = @status, PlanNotes = @plannotes " &
            "WHERE PLANID = @planId"
con = New MySqlConnection("Server=localhost;Port=3306;Database=mydatabase;userid=root;password=mypassword;persist security info=True")
        con.Open()
        cmd = New MySqlCommand(query, con)

cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@status", Me.ChkStatus.Checked)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@plannotes", Me.txtPlanNotes.Text)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@planId", Me.txtPlanID.Text)

        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
        con.Close()

    End Sub

---

If I try to input any changes in the data fields and press the Update button, an error message is thrown at the line: cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() as follows: -

Code:

---

MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException: 'Data truncated for column 'Status' at row 1'

---

If the database field stores text, you should pass the appropriate text - rather than a number or boolean etc.

That may be as simple as:

Code:

---

Dim statusText as String = If(Me.ChkStatus.Checked, "T","F")
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@status", statusText)

Hi si_the_geek,

Your solution worked perfectly! Thank you very much.
