Problem
When using
pd.read_sql(sql=query, con=conn)with SQLAlchemy 2.0.47+,pandas internally calls
dialect.has_table()passing the entire SQL querystring as the
table_nameparameter. Since the SQL string exceeds themaximum Db2 identifier length (128 bytes), the CLI driver raises:
CLI0109E String data right truncation. SQLSTATE=22001Additionally, when
pd.read_sql(sql=text(query), con=conn)is used,a
TextClauseobject is passed astable_name, causing:AttributeError: 'TextClause' object has no attribute 'startswith'Root Cause
has_table()did not validate thetable_nameinput before queryingSYSCAT.TABLES. Any non-string or oversized input was passed directly
to the database, causing the CLI driver to fail on parameter binding.
Fix
Added input validation guard in
has_table()across all reflectors(DB2Reflector, AS400Reflector, OS390Reflector) and the dialect entry
point (DB2Dialect). If
table_nameis not a string or exceeds 128characters (max Db2 table name length on all platforms), return
Falseimmediately without querying the database.
