I have type 'lo' created
CREATE TYPE lo (
  internallength=4,
  externallength=10,
  input=int4in,
  output=int4out,
  default='',
  passedbyvalue
);
as it is recomended in
http://www.insightdist.com/psqlodbc/psqlodbc_faq.html#largeobjects

and a table
CREATE TABLE tmp_rq (
  req_id      int2,
  req_content lo
);
I manually (to simplify debugging) insert record with req_id = 1.
In my application I have an SQL (RequestLive),
SELECT req_id, req_content FROM tmp_rq WHERE req_id = 1;
It  binded to TDBRichEdit (TDBMemo) component.

I run the application, write text (long) to the large object field
fromTDBRichEdit, and exit.
I'm attaching psqlodbc.log file renaming it to WriteData.log

Then run the application again try to read data from large object field by
TDBRichEdit (nothing is showed), and exit.
This time I renamed psqlodbc.log file to ReadAfterWriteData.log

I can see there are some information you don't need, but I decided to leave
the files as is not to remove something valuable by ignorance.

In both cases described above sql.log file was emty. To try to get the files
I did the following:

In MS 32-bit ODBC I checked
"All the time" ("When to trace" on "Tracing" page)" and press "Start tracing
Now" button.
In ODBC Administrator (PostOdbc driver) I set Trace mode = 0x0040

Here is quoting from "ODBC driver connection settings" help:
TRACE MODE A numeric value (bit mask) specifying how much trace information
to log. The Windows OutputDebugString call is used to output the requested
information to the debug window. The following table shows which information
is logged based on bit settings:
Bit Settings Logged Information
0x0001 prepared query statement
0x0002 executed query statements
0x0004 vendor errors
0x0008 statement options (that is: allocate, free)
0x0010 connect / disconnect
0x0020 transaction
0x0040 BLOB I/O
0x0080 miscellaneous
0x0100 vendor calls

But I do get 488 KB sql.log file when I create large object.
I'm not attaching it because I don't know whether you need it. If you do
I'll send it too.

I got a message from Sergey E. Levov <serg@informika.ru>

I downloaded sources from www.insightdist.com/psqlodbc.
Unfortunatelly I need MS Visual C++ 4.0 to rebuild the driver which I
haven't. I am seeking an opportunity to do the job now.


Thank you, Mikhail.

Well, my previous problem ('[Microsoft][ODBC driver manager] Fetch
type out of range') dissappear when I changed the option
hStm -> CursorType from Keyset Driven to Static.
Now when I try to edit a field in a DBGrid and when I post this
message is raised:
'[Microsoft][ODBC cursor library] Syntax error or access violation'
and I can't post it.

But I don't worry any more about Odbc98 nor OdbcExpress, now I'm
comitted to mOdbc because the author is willing to release the
sources.

Btw, using mOdbc this error is raised when I launch the app:
'[Microsoft][ODBC driver manager] The driver doesn't support
the version of ODBC behavior that the application requested
(See SQLSetEnvAttr)', and then say:
'[Microsoft][Odbc curosr library] HSTMT bindings may not be
changed while a cursor is open'
but it open the table and show the result of the query normally.
I'm using it with ODBC cursor library and static cursors.

The Home page of mOdbc is http://www.chat.ru/~ksav
it work in Delphi 3 and BCB 3.

PS: I don't see any strange in the log files, but if you want it
anyway, tell me and I'll send it to you.
Btw, this mailing list accept attachs ?
