MariaDB使用PHP PDO以与原始字段不同的值存储varbinary字段

Question

I'm using PHP - PDO to synchronize a SQL Server Table using RowVersion from our ERP to a MariaDB Database (hosting).

When I save values in a local (office) MariaDB database version 5.5.56, everything goes fine and data is stored correctly. When I do just the same to store data in our hosting with MariaDB version 10.0.37, rowversion field saves a different value.

I've tried, instead from SQL Server, to copy data between office MariaDb and remote MariaDb, using PHP PDO, and I have the same problem. Original rowversion value is different from remote rowversion value.

To store rowversion field I'm using VARBINARY(8).

Example:

• ERP SQL SERVER ROW: (id, description, rowversion). Values: 1, AMARILLO, 0x00000000025DB362 ERP ROW

• MariaDb local database: stored values 1,AMARILLO,00000000025db362 Local MariaDb row

• MariaDb remote database: stored values: 1, AMARILLO, 00000000025d3f62 MariaDb remote row

I don't understand why remote MariaDb saves a different value. Both mariadb tables are identical, but one stores one value and the other a different value. Any ideas? could it be a database version problem?

PHP TEST code, in this case from local MariaDb to remote MariaDb:

    $sql = "SELECT * FROM colors";
    $sth = $this->Db->localdb->query($sql);
    $res = $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

    $sql = "TRUNCATE TABLE colors";
    $this->Db->remotedb->exec($sql);

    $sql = "INSERT INTO colors (id,des,rowversion) VALUES (?,?,?)";
    $sthinsert = $this->Db->remotedb->prepare($sql);


    foreach ($res as $line)
    {
            echo "Inserting color {$line['id']}" . PHP_EOL;
            $sthinsert->execute(array(
                $line['id'],$line['des'],$line['rowversion']
            ));         
    }

Table:

CREATE TABLE `colors` (
    id                              int NOT NULL,
    des                             varchar(30),
    rowversion                      varbinary(8),
    date                            timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW() ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=myisam DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_spanish_ci COMMENT 'Colors';

UPDATED AND SOLVED:

After reading this post PHP/PDO/MySQL: inserting into MEDIUMBLOB stores bad data I've tested to change the SET NAMES in my remote database. That solved the problem.

I added this line to my PHP program:

$this->Db->remotedb->exec("SET NAMES latin1 COLLATE latin1_general_ci");

Now the question is why a database (MariaDB) works in one way and the second in other way.

Sqlserver is working with Modern_Spanish_CI_AS collation.

Local mariadb is working with utf8mb4_unicode_ci, and I set in PDO utf8

Remote mariadb is in utf8mb4_general_ci, and I also was setting PDO for utf8.

With those collations, the data coming from SqlServer was stored different. Setting the new collation solved it. It would be better if PDO could use binary data without any interpretation realted to collation.

SECOND UPDATE

I've found a better way to do this:

• I create the table with CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci

• I change the CHARSET in PDO to:

$this->Db->remotedb->exec("SET NAMES utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci");

With this, rowversion and languague specific chars are stored right.

Cheers.

Answer 1

PDO tries to convert the binary value into a string using the specified UTF-8 encoding. B3 is not a valid code point and is thus replaced by ? - when encoding back from string to binary, you then get 3F as value for the replacement character ? .

To prevent PDO from doing binary to string conversion, see this SO post:
