Something is not translating CHAR values correctly -- all the fields that you "see" are not char values.
Have no idea off hand *why* this would be ... character encoding differences maybe ?

One of my applications is in Delphi 5. I just went to change it over to Postgres (from MSSQL). I am using odbc and something a bit odd is happening. I can run a sql statement ok, even in sql builder I see all the fields. But the returned result set appears to be missing some of the fields. So my table is CREATE TABLE tbltranslations ( transnumber int4 NOT NULL, clientnum char(4) NOT NULL, lastran timestamp, lastupdated timestamp, firstrowhasheading char(1), fixed_delimited char(1), tblname varchar(50), delimeter char(1), textqualifier char(1), active bool, direction char(1), client_filename varchar(250), ftp_account int4, fixedlenghthascomma char(1), ftp_path varchar(250), ftp_filename varchar(50), fieldname_forid_on_insert varchar(50) ) but only fields transnumber lastran lastupdated active and ftp_account show up as fields I can add to the result. Any ideas?
