Something is not translating CHAR values correctly -- all the fields that you "see" are not char values.

Have no idea off hand *why* this would be ... character encoding differences maybe ?

Subject:    [SQL] delphi access question?
One of my applications is in Delphi 5.
I just went to change it over to Postgres (from MSSQL).
I am using odbc and something a bit odd is happening.
I can run a sql statement ok, even in sql builder I see all the fields.
But the returned result set appears to be missing some of the fields.
So my table is
CREATE TABLE tbltranslations
(
  transnumber int4 NOT NULL,
  clientnum char(4) NOT NULL,
  lastran timestamp,
  lastupdated timestamp,
  firstrowhasheading char(1),
  fixed_delimited char(1),
  tblname varchar(50),
  delimeter char(1),
  textqualifier char(1),
  active bool,
  direction char(1),
  client_filename varchar(250),
  ftp_account int4,
  fixedlenghthascomma char(1),
  ftp_path varchar(250),
  ftp_filename varchar(50),
  fieldname_forid_on_insert varchar(50)
)
but only fields
  transnumber
  lastran
  lastupdated
  active
  and ftp_account
show up as fields I can add to the result.
Any ideas?

Are you using BDE with psqlodbc 8.0? I've seen problems with that, and
found only 7.0.0200 mostly working; any later version will show the
missing column problem.

Hi,

 I don't know if this may help but after comparing the mylog.log files I
have noticed that it looks like the copy_and_convert function recives a
fctype=-9999 in version 8, while it recives a fctype=1 in version 7.3.

It doesn't matter the encoding of the database, becouse I have tried it with
SQL_ASCII, LATIN1 and UNICODE with the same results.

This also afect to MS-Access, all the text field values appear like
"deleted" ("Eliminado" in spanish).

Regards,

Miguel Juan
