"I don't feel we should have to pay for this option" Why?
FB is an opensource database that in the most perverse manner competes
with IB so why should
codegear give a [EMAIL PROTECTED], This is always the 2 edged sword of opensource,
your warranty is proportional
to the price paid for the product, You could write you own, make it
opensource and solve everyones problem

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, it seems to
go well apart from the fact that it crashes 10-30 seconds
after executing all the sql statements.
