Hi all, Our company has just recently ported from Delphi 7 to Delphi 2007. When we try to insert a blob into a firebird table using DBX4 (dbexpress) we were getting the following message "Incorrect values within SQLDA structure". Their are plenty of references to this problem on the internet and it turns out that DBX4 doesn't support/work with firebird anymore. This problem has got the second highest votes on the codegear bug/feature request page (http://qc.codegear.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=41034) and comments about this problem go back to 2007 and yet I still cant find any references to this problem being fixed. I have fixed this problem by downloading a third party dbexpress driver from http://www.upscene.com/ (go to downloads and down the bottom there's a trial version for InterXpress for firebird, the readme forgets to include the directory for the "dbxdrivers.ini" file for 2007 which is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Documents\RAD Studio\dbExpress). The above works perfectly but I don't feel we should have to pay for this option and were wondering if anyone else has found any other solutions or heard any news about whether codegear are actually planning on supporting this, sounds like there's a lot of people screaming about this. I also found a free driver at http://www.tbosystems.bluehosting.com.br/dbx4/indexen.php <http://www.tbosystems.bluehosting.com.br/dbx4/indexen.php> , it seems to go well apart from the fact that it crashes 10-30 seconds after executing all the sql statements.
