Re: BUG in Unicode Driver - was: Re: Can't get more than 255

Hiroshi -

Thanx very much for looking into this. Attached is the mylog file and the sql code the
create the table. Its a big nasty table to be sure and will only display data when viewed with the
Unicode driver. Also - I tried the 0005 driver but when it came to listing the tables for selection all I
got was a bunch of 'p'. Looks like the took the 'p' from public_TABLENAME so I cannot link
anything with the Unicode driver under 0005.

The problem we're trying to fix is getting my text fields to be recognized as memo fields
under Access 97. The non-Unicode drivers do this but they can't display the data (I think because
they choke on the odd field names perhaps?). Let me know if there's anything else you want me to
try.

My settings are as follows:

Postgres 7.3b5 under Linux compile options '--with-perl' '--with-python'

PostgresSQL + Unicode (Beta) 7.02.00.04
KSQO, Recognize Unique Indexes, Use Declare/Fetch,Parse Statements, MyLog, LF<->
CR/LF, Updatable Cursors, Row Versioning, Disallow Premature : checked

Unknown sizes = Maximum
Text as LongVarChar
Bools as Char
Max Varchar: 254
Max LongVarChar: 8190
Cache Size: 100
SysTable Prefixes: dd_;
Int8 As: default
Protocol: 7.X,6.4+
OID Options: Show Column & Fake Index checked

many thanx,

Ben Scherrey
