Re: [INTERFACES] PostODBC 6.40.0007 to PostgreSQL 6.5.2 NEED HELP : Delphi-ODBC / Pygresql-Python - Mailing list pgsql-interfaces

Hi,
Thanks to Sergio for help about ODBC tuning & is good links to free source
code for Delphi ;-)

Maybe an interface problem with Delphi - ODBC - Postgresql, hope to not disturb
thislist. 

Using this design database since Postgresql 6.3 with Pygresql &  Python cgi
without any problem.Today records of this database still working with Python
& Pygresql.
===
DESCRIPTION  :
Postgresql 6.5.2 & PostODBC 6.40.0007
Using postgresql table whith many text fields & big text in this fields < 8K
for a record Borland crash (IDAPI32.dll & KERNEL.dll error) when using the
DBNavigator with nbRefresh, nbLast, nbFirst Buttons.
NO odbc error in log.

It works with Python & Pygresql ; Having make check & records (tuples) < 8Kb

Same problem with char (2048)

Very nice link ; no problem to make install of DBBitBtn in Delphi 5 & good
documentation about DBBitBtn. Nice.

BUT SAME PROBLEM :((
