Re: Writing BLOBS to pgsql via ODBC using VB - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

I have tried the same thing also with ADO and the error is the same. Here
are some debug informations from the log of the odbc driver and the queries
issued by the postgres backend.

Why the queries needed to insert the record are not present? (nor in ODBC
neither in backend log)

If anyone have successfully inserted a record using vb, can tell me how he
have done? Apparently there is no way...

Denis

PS: If i use the "Insert OLE object" in MS Access, the insertion works...
Obviously in my application i have not to use Access...
