Board index » delphi » Delphi 2007 + IBX + FB, blob fields not supported

Big bug here, using blob fields with dbx and firebird (any version, 1.5 or
2) it raises "Incorrect values within sqlda structure".
I've tried to use the old dxexpint.dll from Delphi 7 but it says "version 2.5 is
not supported".
First: it is really a bug? Anyone noticed this problem?
Second: compatibility with version 2.5 dll it is quite essential.
Thanks,
Alan Solo

supported or been tested against Firebird. The fact that it has worked
in the past has been accident, not design.
dbExpress 3 drivers but not version 2.5 drivers. This is by design.

as soon as someone logs it in QC with a reproducible test case it will
get on the list to be fixed. If the bug exists for InterBase then the
fix for IB _may_ fix the problem with FB as well.
Most Firebird users that I know use a Firebird specific driver such as
the one from Upscene Productions. I know that Martijn Tonies of Upscene
is working very hard to get a DBX 4 version of his driver finished. It
has always been true that the updated versions of third party
components for a new version of Delphi ship a month or two after the
new version of Delphi ships because final testing and bug fixing must
be done with the shipping version of Delphi.
