Hello,

i came over a problem with version 7.2.14 on a lazarus 2.2.2, messing up with german umlauts when inserting a SQLite table. There is a small test project attached, with the sqlite.dll in use, just for compiling and running (there will load several sql-inserts into the synedit, to be marked an executed one by one)

There is no such problem with the original exe compiled with lazarus 1.6.2 and ZEOS 7.1.4., using the same dll.

Please could anyone check that out?

regards

PS: i got a "file too large" error so i had to delete the dll from the zip.

Hi,

Your application compiled with Lazarus 2.2.4-Win32, SQLite 3.39.0 and Zeos8 /trunk svn 7928:
I added semicolons in session.sql.

Hello Hoedlmoser,

I tested you application with the current Zeos 7.2-patches from the SVN. My Lazarus version is 2.2.0 and my FPC version is 3.2.2. I use SQLite version 3.39.3. For me things seem to work correctly. Umlauts seem to be stored correctly in the database - and fetched as well.

Some notes on your application though:

• It makes sense to specify a ClientCodepage. Use UTF8 in your case.
• use "sqlite" as the protocol. Versioned protocl names ("sqlite-3") will not be supported by the upcoming Zeos 8.0:

  Zeos 7.2 release notes, Chapter 'The future development of Zeos' wrote:Protocols with version numbers will not be used in Zeos 8.0 anymore (i.e. firebird-2.5 will become firebird). Please migrate. Driver names without version numbers were added to Zeos 7.2 to prepare for this.

Sooo - I am not 100% sure how to reproduce your problem. I see that you use Lazarus 2.2.2. Which version of FPC and SQLite do you use? The FPC version can be found in the Lazarus menu with "Help" -> "About Lazarus". For the SQLite version right click on the sqlite3.dll, and go to the "Deteils" tab. There you will find the file and product version.

With best regards,

Jan

@Michal
thanks for your reply. i replaced the 7.2.14 with 8.0 from svn trunc 7930 and it works (still using Lazarus 2.2.2 64 bit and sqlite.dll 3.8.7.0)

@jan
thanks for your suggestions. Lazarus 2.2.2 came with FPC 3.2.2. ill try that 7.2 patch from svn, as 8.0 is still "beta"

@ hoedlmoser,

Every non-trivial application or library has bugs. I believe that the current version of the Zeos8 trunk has fewer of them than the previous versions (Zeos7). So I would advise you to move to Zeos8 also because you can faster expect fixes in the dropdown(lived) version than the ancient one.

Honestly I do know of some serious bugs im Zeos 8 that Michael fixed only recently and that were one reason to not release Zeos 8 as stable yet. Also there may be one serious bug that didn't get fixed yet in the Firebird/Interbase drivers. I am not sure about that last one.

Zeos 7.2 is - how do they say - industry proven ;o) Honestly I would advise people to stay with Zeos 7.2 for now if it suits their needs. We keep fixing bugs if we get reports for bugs there for now.

Hi Jan,

But Zeos8 has many new features including it is adapted to the current versions of SQL servers and Zeos7 will be more and more out of date.
