Syntax

sys.format_statement(statement)

Description

Returns a reduced length string. The length is specified by the statement_truncate_len configuration option (default 64), and the removed part of the string (if any) is replaced with an ellipsis (three dots).

The function is intended for use in formatting lengthy SQL statements to a fixed length.

Examples

Default truncation length 64:

SELECT sys.format_statement(
  'SELECT field1, field2, field3, field4, field5, field6 FROM table1'
  ) AS formatted_statement;
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| formatted_statement                                               |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| SELECT field1, field2, field3, ... d4, field5, field6 FROM table1 |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

Reducing the truncation length to 48:

SET @sys.statement_truncate_len = 48;

SELECT sys.format_statement( 
  'SELECT field1, field2, field3, field4, field5, field6 FROM table1'
  ) AS formatted_statement;
+---------------------------------------------------+
| formatted_statement                               |
+---------------------------------------------------+
| SELECT field1, field2, ... d5, field6 FROM table1 |
+---------------------------------------------------+
