Hi,
My connect string are fine, problem only is the some program's use normal
string variables and they have a max lenght of 254 characters.
I use the Delphi Widestring that can take 4GB (2GB in unicode).
I read/was told that in the new 7.3.x ODBC Drivers the unicode driver is
default, and you have to specify the legacy driver if you don't want to use
unicode.
That caused some troubels in my applications too, but works fine now.
