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

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Did you create the layer as a temporary one? So then its stored as an ESRI  
shape and the dbf will not store more characters.
Or did you also try to save it directly into another format which supports  
longer fields (errm, here I'm lost too, cause I do not know most of the  
formats available, but maybe try sqlite)

Cheers
Bernd
