delphi access question?

From
"Joel Fradkin"
Date:
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?

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 ?

Yea odd thing is if I use a table type object it see the fields so it is
only with query objects.

The same odbc works ok with my asp pages.

I will see if I can figure out the zeos stuff.

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