contrib/levenshtein() has a bug?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The levenshtein function from contrib/fuzzystrmatch.sql has a max arg length of 255. OK, that's cool. But check this out:

mbrainz_db=> select max(length(name)) from public.track;
 max
-----
 255
(1 row)

mbrainz_db=> select levenshtein(name,'foo') from public.track; ERROR: argument exceeds max length: 255


That seems odd. What's odder is:

mbrainz_db=> select levenshtein(substring(name for 100),'foo') from public.track;
ERROR:  argument exceeds max length: 255



Any suggestions? I'm using the Fedora 5 rpms, so it looks like that puts me at 8.1.4.
