[ODBC] Need assistance with ODBC bytea data please - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

Hi,

Please help me resolve this issue, as we have a client who wants to use PostgreSQL.

ODBC Driver version: pslODBC 09_05_0499-x86

PostgreSQL version: 9.6.1.1

Windows OS 64 bit.

I have a table created with this statement:

CREATE TABLE PS_BLOB (CollectionID BIGINT, BLOBID BIGINT, BLOBType VARCHAR(255), BLOBName VARCHAR(255), TheBLOB BYTEA);

ret = SQLBindParameter(ist, paramNumber, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_BINARY, SQL_LONGVARBINARY, columnSize,  0,  (void*)(i+1), 0,              &myBlobSizeMacro);

myBlobSIzeMacro gets set to SQL_LEN_DATA_AT_EXEC(myBlobSize);

SQLExecute correctly returns 99 asking for data for the last column. And SQLPutData puts the correct amount of data, no issue. No errors. And you can see the blob size in the log file below.

And yet, if you look in pgAdmin4 then for the BLOB column it shows a number like 124618 or something. And in my code when you try and read the blob again, SQLGetData returns a size of 5 in the last argument, as if the blob is only 5 bytes, when it much larger than that.

The log details are below. Please note:

- The exact same blob code works perfectly fine with SQL Server, MariaDB etc. So it is unlikely to be my code I hope.

- The wrong blob data issue issue manifests only the very first time the blob is written, subsequent calls to write another blob succeeds and the correct data gets written and returned again.

I have tried calling SQLPutData with smaller chunks, but that has no impact.

Any ideas? Please advise!

I have looked at the relevant psqlODBC code but I do not see any obvious issue. One option would be for me to compile the source code and overwrite the installed DLLs and then step through SQLPutData in odbcapi.c and see what PGAPI_PutData in execute.c actually does. But the log file below is fairly detailed, maybe someone more familiar with it can go "Oh yes, for larger blobs we need to fix x, or you need to y". It looks like the code just ends up in SOCK_put_n_char which has to be doing the right thing. So I do not see any potential issues in the psqlODBC source code, it all looks good.

Please?

Thank you,

Ben.
