Hi,
I'm testing the Ansi version of the psqlodbc-08.01.0100 and I
have found a few isues.
If you open a table with the BDE SQL explorer, now it shows all
the text fields (char, varchar and text), but for the TEXT type it show
the contents as MEMO. This behavior could be changed in prior versions
unchecking the "Text as LongVarChar" option and checking the "Longest"
option in the "Unknown Sizes" section.
Now, it can be fixed only changing the "Max LongVarchar" edit to
254. It looks like the driver it is not using the "longest" option in
the configuration.
No - longest doesn't work anymore because there is no sensible way to
figure it out with the libpq driver architecture. It was only ever there
to support pre-6.4 servers that couldn't report the defined column width
(see the config.htm doc for details).
That aside, shouldn't TEXT equate to MEMO anyway?
yes. TMemoField only VCL type capable of handling unlimited length text
fields.
Just:
1. use TMemo instead of TEdit
2. Find a replacement for TDBGrid (I use TopGrid)
3.
If you open the database schema with the sql explorer it does
not show all the tables, and each table that it shows appears 6 times.
It is easy to reproduce, because it happens with all the system tables.
Please try 08.01.0101.
