Hello Tim,

what is the reason that TGuidFields are not supported in the Unicode
Version of ElevateDB?

Thanks
Friedrich

I'm not sure what you mean - GUID fields are support in all versions of EDB.
Could you elaborate on the issue that you're seeing ?

Hello Tim,

if i have a Field in a table
"ID" GUID DEFAULT CURRENT_GUID()         NOT NULL,


and open the Table the ID field is not from type ftGuid

If i Look in the source the i see that there defines for ftGuid if
UNICODE compile


I can manage around it, but i would like to know why?

Ahh, yes.  If I remember correctly, I had to use a normal fixed-character
string type because there isn't a Unicode version of the ftGuid field type
in Delphi.
