Size needs to be set to -1

Smoketested using the SQL Outbox sample:

  • Cloned Core to Core v9 and target locally created nugets from this branch.
  • Modified the sample to have a text property increase in length for each message send
  • Ran the sample where a message and sent a bunch of messages
  • Cleared the query cache DBCC FREEPROCCACHE
  • Ran the following query to observe the query cache statistics:
     SELECT
     	databases.name,
     	dm_exec_sql_text.text AS TSQL_Text,
     	dm_exec_query_stats.execution_count
     FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats 
     CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(dm_exec_query_stats.plan_handle)
     INNER JOIN sys.databases
     ON dm_exec_sql_text.dbid = databases.database_id
     WHERE databases.name<>'master'
     ORDER BY TSQL_Text
  • Observed in the result that it works:
     (@MessageId nvarchar(4000),@Operations nvarchar(4000),@PersistenceVersion nvarchar(4000))  insert into [sender].[OutboxData]  (      MessageId,      Operations,      PersistenceVersion  )  values  (      @MessageId,      @Operations,      @PersistenceVersion  )
     (@MessageId nvarchar(4000),@Operations nvarchar(4000),@PersistenceVersion nvarchar(4000))  insert into [sender].[OutboxData]  (      MessageId,      Operations,      PersistenceVersion  )  values  (      @MessageId,      @Operations,      @PersistenceVersion  )
     (@MessageId nvarchar(4000),@Operations nvarchar(max) ,@PersistenceVersion nvarchar(4000))  insert into [receiver].[OutboxData]  (      MessageId,      Operations,      PersistenceVersion  )  values  (      @MessageId,      @Operations,      @PersistenceVersion  )
     (@MessageId nvarchar(4000),@Operations nvarchar(max) ,@PersistenceVersion nvarchar(4000))  insert into [receiver].[OutboxData]  (      MessageId,      Operations,      PersistenceVersion  )  values  (      @MessageId,      @Operations,      @PersistenceVersion  )

@ramonsmits are you taking care of the smoke testing bit?

@mauroservienti done! As this is an enhancement what do you think? Only release this for the next major or should this be backported to the current release major?

I think it should be backported to the currently released major. That's the only release available to users, the next major is in the works but there is no ETA.

Nice improvement. Could we make the parameters lengths explicit?

Although these last commits use the actual lengths of the schema it feels error-prone. It would require additional refactoring to really make the lengths part of a central schema to get the length information which is a major code change.

Dapper uses -1 as the default is a string unless the actually string length is less than 4000 and then uses 4000 UNLESS a explicit length was configured

I vote for reverting these changes revert to e0d21e0. That behavior is pretty much as dapper except that dapper sets length to -1 when its a null value. That logic doesn't make sense IMHO and we can keep the behavior at e0d21e0.

@tmasternak @mauroservienti what do you think?

Agreed. 👍 to revert to e0d21e0

This reverts commit 8ff785a.

Revert "Set default lengths as suggested by @tmasternak"

This reverts commit f668d68.
