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. 
 
 
Regards
