1. Connect to "sample" Java DB. 2. Rightclick "PRODUCT" table and choose "View Data". 3. Add some char symbol to some field in PRODUCT_CODE column and press Enter. Result: Message "Please enter valid data for PRODUCT_CODE of char type" appears. But it can mislead customer, since char symbol was added. Need to somehow extend message to be more clear for our users.
I think the message is very clear. There is nothing that I can think of adding here. If you have suggestion please let us know what exact text you would like to see.
Actually the message isn't very clear. I suggest to have something like "Please enter valid data for PRODUCT_CODE according to column type". The problem is that when user see "SW" in char type column, it isn't clear that size is 2 and it's impossible to enter additional char symbols. When user enters !char! symbol it is expected that everything should be fine. If we slightly change message, then user will try to find out what is wrong with column type and will look that size is 2. We need just small change.
Then May be we should say something like this: "Please enter valid data for PRODUCT_CODE of datatype char(2)"
Yes, quite understandable message. I agree with such message, it will be more clear. Thanks.
