Question about mySQL and Maria-db not returning all data

[Ton Kuypers]

Hi all,

I have a problem I can't seem to solve...

I'm running a mySQL server locally on my Mac, version 5.7.23. When I try to retrieve using a direct link from LiveCode Community 9.6.3, everything works perfectly.
Remote my provider switched to version Maria-db 10.6.23 and there's a "small" issue.

When using a php page to extract the data, everything comes in, a little slow, but all data is there.
But when using the same direct option from LiveCode, only a part of the data comes in. Blazing fast, but the data stops after a "random" amount of chars...
The first query direct gives 5.523 chars, php returns 5.472 chars
The second query via a direct livecode query retrieves 419.530 chars, the PHP pages returns 2.664.296 chars 
And a third query returns 1355 characters direct and 10.231 through php...

So I upgraded to Maria-DB on my Mac: same problem as remote
Removed this installation and installed the latest version of MySQL: cannot use this version, because the mysql_native_password does no longer exist, so I can’t login anymore.
So I removed that version as well and went back to MySql 8.0.42. Login works again, but als the problem with the chopped off data is back, same as the remote Maria-DB version.

I need a working remote database, preferably the latest Maria-DB version as installed, but I need to be able to get all the data, using the direct connection commands in LiveCode… PHP work fine, but is is slowwwwwwwwww

Anybody a suggestion?


Met vriendelijke groeten,
Warm Regards,
