[Opensource] problem when saving string containing newline strings

[Gabor Nagypal]

Hi,

When I try to save a String to a DBObject toa VARCHAR field which
contains the newline character (\n) the newline character gets lost.

I.e., if dbo is a DBobject, and field is the name of the VARCHAR field:

String myString = "Test\nthis";
dbo.setStringFilter(field, FilterManager.RAW_FILTER);
dbo.setField(field, value);
result = dbo.getField(field);

result == "Testthis";

Interestingly, if I use LONGVARCHAR (which I map to PostgreSQL "text"
type) the phenomenon does not occur.

Does anyone else experience this? Is that a normal behaviour for VARCHARs?

Regards,

Gabor
