Description:
Ever a MysqlDataTruncation has been thrown. The getDataSize and getTransferSize has not been filled correclty.

Check out the Docu from DataTruncation.

How to repeat:
Fill an update/insert using too long string value.
The Exception will be a MysqlDataTruncation.
Call getDataSize and getTransferSize on the Excetpino, you will get wrong values.

Suggested fix:
Bugfix the JDBC to get jdbc complicant.

Hi Peter and thanks for your report.

Please do attach your complete (DML/DDL inc.) test case. I am particularly interested in jdbcCompliantTruncation setting in your connection string and a SQL_MODE your MySQL server runs in. For details check http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connector-j-reference-configuration-properties.html.

These attributes of a truncation error are not provided by the server, therefore there's no way for the JDBC driver to give it to an application. Changing the category accordingly.

Yes, thanks to you Mark.

What usualy will happens now? 
I think the best way is to deprecated those two methods now, right?

It's not possible to deprecate methods in a public API such as JDBC. I suppose we could throw a NotImplemented exception...
