             Summary: Allow a JDBC Appender to truncate strings to match a table's metadata column length limit
                 Key: LOG4J2-2509
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2509
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Appenders
            Reporter: Gary Gregory
            Assignee: Gary Gregory
             Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.11.2


Allow a JDBC Appender to truncate strings to match a table's metadata column length limit.

Some databases like MySQL can be configured to cause SQL INSERT statements to fail when data for a column exceeds the length of a column definition.

In the case of MySQL 8, this is the default configuration, and asking a DB admin to change this to accommodate an application is not reasonable.

This feature would add a new attribute on the {{JdbcAppender}} called {{truncateStrings}} which would do so. This would be set to true by default for a smooth initial impression.
