Improved user text input sanitisation and extended supported chars in DB

[zefir-git]

Alters table columns to change the collation from latin1_general to utf8mb3_general to enable the use of foreign languages.

Validates that strings a user provides for such columns do not exceed codepoint 0xFFFF which is the maximum supported by utf8mb3. Additional characters can be excluded with configurable RegEx:

BankAccounts/src/main/resources/config.yml

Lines 260 to 264 in 308dfcc

	# Advanced: do not edit unless you have good understanding of RegEx
	# Regular expression for disallowed characters user-provided text inputs
	# e.g. account name, transaction description, POS description, invoice description
	# Note: additionally <> and characters with code point above 0xFFFF are always disallowed.
	disallowed-regex: [\x00-\x08\x0B-\x1F\x7F-\x9F\u2400-\u2421\u200B-\u200D\uFEFF\uD800-\uDB7F\uDFFF]

Descriptions that exceed the column string length limit will be cut and … (a single character) will be appended. This should prevent DB errors while also indicating to users that the description was cut short.

Everything seems good to me
