Answer me, please (the problem makes me trow out half a year's work as useless garbage) DH>Have you seen DH> http://www.insightdist.com/psqlodbc/psqlodbc_faq.html#largeobjects Yes, I create large object as it reccomends create type lo internallength=4, externallength=10, input=int4in, output=int4out, default='', passedbyvalue ); and have all the problems I say here about. By the way, PostgreSQL's man create_type recommends another way to create the large object type: create type bigobj ( input = lo_filein, output = lo_fileout, internallength = variable ); Can anybody tell me how should I implement lo_filein and lo_fileout in this case? Thank you, Mikhail.
Hi, I have another problem with lo, I used the new Insight Odbc driver and when I try to use the datapump utility of Borland (Delphi) to migrate paradox tables, when it try to convert memo fields to large objects it gave an error, wich NOT happen with the previous version of the driver. I resolved changing the type of the target field to varchar. Btw, any plans to support scrollable cursors and ODBC 3 from Insight ? TIA, Sergio Kessler PS: rh5.1, Psql 6.3.2 and win odbc driver from this month.

I don't see any real need to support ODBC 3.0. This would be quite an involved project for very little gain as far as I can tell. The driver manager seems to do a good job of down converting the 3.0 calls to 2.0. Is there something specific in 3.0 that you need or something? As for scrollable cursors, "static" scrollable cursors are already supported. If you want positioned update/delete, the driver can work with the odbc cursor library to achieve that. As for dynamic or keyset cursors, I had plans to implement a mixed keyset cursor (similar to what the Jet engine does), but time is a problem. Byron

But the strange thing is that it not happen with the previous driver. >> Btw, any plans to support scrollable cursors and ODBC 3 >> from Insight ? > >I don't see any real need to support ODBC 3.0.

Is there something specific in 3.0 that you need or something? Well, I have a couple of delphi componentes that talk directly to the driver bypassing the BDE (because I hate to distribute the BDE), and it say is for Odbc 3. See the attachments, I've managed to convince the author to release the source in the next version :) >As for scrollable cursors, "static" scrollable cursors are already >supported.

The same here, all the components (Odbc98, OdbcExpress) expect (or work better with) scrollable cursors in the driver, but I guess I can live with this. Cheers, Sergio Kessler

Is there something specific in 3.0 that you need or something? Well, I have a freeware components (mOdbc) that talk to the odbc directly bypassing the BDE (because I hate to distribute the BDE) but it is made for 3.0 drivers, if you want this comps, just tell me. Btw, I've managed to convince the author to release the source code :) >As for scrollable cursors, "static" scrollable cursors are already >supported.

As for dynamic or keyset >cursors, I had plans to implement a mixed keyset cursor (similar to what >the Jet engine does), but time is a problem. The same happen here, all 3 party components want (or work better with) dynamic scrollable cursors, I'm talking about odbc98 (http://www.odbc98.com) or OdbcExpress (http://www.odbcexpress.com), but maybe I choose mOdbc.
