[Qgis-user] Points layer from table tool truncating texts

[anderso at anlaggarna.se]

Hi!

I'm having a problem with the "Points Layer from Table" tool.

The source data contain string/text data longer than 255 characters (memo
fields from MS Access)

The fields are truncated to 255 characters in the resulting point layer
when looking in the "attribute table window"

When opening the source data layer in the "attribute table window" the
fields are not truncated so the problem must be in the tool itself.

The source layer is created using "create vector layer->Database->ODBC->...."

Does anyone have a workaround for this?

I found some tips about using the SAGA "create points from table" tool
instead but i can't find it in QGIS?

I'm using QGIS 2.6.1
