This is just a quick note to Canvas Wiki users regarding large text entries. I was putting our internal coding guidelines into our dev wiki today when I ran into an issue with the entry being truncated. My initial thought was either a validation rule in the app was truncating the text, or the DSN configuration wasn't set to allow CLOBS. After a quick peek at the code, I confirmed the issue was with the DSN config. You'll never run into this issue unless you have a fairly large wiki entry.
To correct the issue, edit your data source in the ColdFusion Administrator and click on the Show Advanced Settings button. You should see a checkbox for CLOB -- Enable long text retrieval (CLOB). Make sure this is checked and you should be good to go.
