Thread: Problem with Blobs on XP Professional

Problem with Blobs on XP Professional

From
SSchmidt@linotype.com
Date:

An application, orginally developed in C++ under VS 6.0 which inserts integers,varchar and binary large objects in a database (with SQLPrepare(),
SQLBindParameter() and SQLExecute()). Originally the database was an Oracle 8.x  and the application runs under Windows 2000 (via ODBC). Then
we have tried a Postgres 8.x (on a server) and after changing the syntax of some statements, it worked. Now I have Windows XP Professional V.2002, SP 2 and .NET 1.1 and I get the error message: 'ERROR: type "lo" does not exist'.
I´ve tried various Versions of the ProsgreSQL OBDC driver. All with the same result.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Siegmar

Is the difference only in OS (could you write version of working OS)?

The problem has trivial solution in creating "lo" datatype. You could
find it in pgsql-odbc mailing list (in the end of year 2005) or
in FAQ (from CVS or maybe in official releases).

If you don't use large objects could you send us mylog output?
