Why is the standard-receiver of a reply to the list, the original poster, not the list
itself?

Hi Travis,

so far I see, you cannot simply interpret 'length' as the length in bytes of the
corresponding "byte string" in the MYSQL_ROW.
Think of the Type VARCHAR.
The length member of the FIELD tells you the maximum, the row gives you the string in the
actual length.
So far I know the Strings in the ROW are zero-terminated so you can use it with ease and
the regular C-character-functions.
