Known limitations...

Hello

I'm using "ZPlainPostgreSQL74.pas" from Zeos for connecting to postgresql 8.1.0.
"Because of the limitations of dblibrary only the first 255 char is returned for char and varchar columns." - it stands for all databases?
Could I retrieve i.e. varchar(1024) from postgres?

regards
Piotr

Hi.

My suggestion is to use a "text" field. This will (afaik) be handled as an ascii-stream (BLOB) and you won't have no problems with the size of the text anymore.

Regards.

P.S.: Also a warm :welcome1:

to you !!!
