Bug #89982	Insert statements are truncating JSON columns to 65k when using EF Core 2.0

Description:
Getting this error on inserting data into mysql table containing json column:

MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException (0x80004005): Invalid JSON text: "Missing a closing quotation mark in string." at position 65534 in value for column 'PropertyEvents.ContentObject'.

Based on the following log message, it appears that the INSERT statement generated by EF is limiting the parameter size to 65K, but couldn´t understand why:

"Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Database.Command:Error: Failed executing DbCommand (989ms) [Parameters=[@p0='?' (Size = 65535)], CommandType='Text', CommandTimeout='30']
INSERT INTO PropertyEvents (ContentObject) VALUES (@p0);
SELECT Id FROM PropertyEvents WHERE ROW_COUNT() = 1 AND Id=LAST_INSERT_ID();

This is the complete exception message:

MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException (0x80004005): Invalid JSON text: "Missing a closing quotation mark in string." at position 65534 in value for column 'PropertyEvents.ContentObject'.

How to repeat:
Configure EF Core Code First with the following entity type:
public class PropertyEvent
{
private PropertyEvent()
{
}

    public int Id { get; private set; }
    public string ContentObject { get; private set; }
}
using this configuration:
sealed class PropertyEventMap : IEntityTypeConfiguration
{
public void Configure(EntityTypeBuilder builder)
{
builder.Property(p => p.ContentObject).IsRequired().HasColumnType("JSON");
}
}

and then converts a json object greater than 65 k into PropertyEvent.ContentObject property and tries to insert it into db using "context.SaveChangesAsync()"

Further technical details
EF Core version: EF Core (2.01)
Database Provider: MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore (6.10.5) / MySQL 5.7.17

IDE: Visual Studio 2017 (15.4.2)

Hello Clodoaldo,

Thank you for the bug report.
Could you please provide repeatable steps (exact steps/sample project, MySQl version,insert statements full stack trace etc. - please make it as private if you prefer) to confirm this issue at our end?

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi.

sample project with database creation and endpoint to reproduce the error

Hi,

Attached a project sample. To reproduce this error run the project and call "http://localhost:61860/api/values" using POST, than pass a string greater than 65k in the body. 

In my case, I´m converting a image file to base64string.

Using this components/versions:

Visual Studio 2017 (15.4.2)
EF Core 2.01
MySQL 5.7.17
MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore (6.10.5)
Win10 Pro 64 bits (version 1709 build 16299.248)

tks.

Hello Clodoaldo,

Thank you for the feedback.
I could not repeat the issue at our end using with Visual Studio 2017,MySQL 5.7.21, Connector/NET 6.10.5 version.
If you can provide more information, feel free to add it to this bug and change the status back to 'Open'.
