Re: figuring out why I am having this issue

Thanks Greg.
I inherited this app and doing a one stop shop for db would be an excellent
idea, there is stuff everywhere (no error handling until I got on board, but
I have just been sticking it where the db action is.

Unfortunately I am making no progress. I tried the snapshot using the
connection DRIVER={PostgreSQL-libpq} so I am more confident at least I am
testing the correct driver version.

It is cutting my text fields off at 254 chars.
I tried making
MaxVarcharSize=32768;MaxLongVarcharSize=32768;
Thinking it might be ignoring the TextAsLongVarchar=1;
But still was cutting the text off.
So basically I can not use the libpq driver at the moment, will have to
figure out why its cutting off the text.

I like the collection construct (for each)

If (error.Number <> 0) Then
'and this for-next loop is usually in a handle_db_errors routine
instead of typing/pasting it all over my code
'plus it become a one-stop change where I can log the error to a db
or file or event_log.
For Each dberr in con.Errors
Response.Write "An Error occurred................." & <br> &
vbCrLf
Response.Write "Number: " & CStr(dberr.Number) & <br> &
vbCrLf
Response.Write "Source: " & dberr.Source & <br> & vbCrLf
Response.Write "NativeError: " & CStr(dberr.NativeError) &
<br> & vbCrLf
Response.Write "Description: " & dberr.Description & <br>
Next
Response.End
End If

It's all the same.
