I installed EDB 1.09 Build 3 (Unicode) today and ran into a bizarre problem.

The data written out into VARCHAR fields was unreadable. Gibberish. Lot's of ?'s and very little else. Blob fields worked fine.

I checked with the EDB Manager and confirmed that I was using the Unicode version of EDB. I even re-downloaded 1.09B3 and re-
installed it. No difference.

I un-installed 1.09 and reinstalled 1.07 Build 3 (Unicode) (because I still had the installer) and the problem went away. I'm calling this my
workaround for the moment.

I checked the forums and saw no mention of anyone else with this problem. Did something change since 1.07B3 that I need to take into
account in my code?

Thanks.

PS Using Windows Vista, if that matters.

Could you send me the table and database catalog where you're seeing this ?
I am not aware of any issues with the Unicode versions at all.

I've posted it to the binary post forum.

I'm using Delphi 2007, BTW. Forgot to mention that in my earlier post.

I put some more time into this today, but I found nothing. Hopefully you'll have better luck. =)

Thanks.

David,

Okay, the issue is that we started shipping the edbcomps.pas unit in 1.09 in
the actual "code" subdirectory along with the other .dcu files, and this is
screwing up the compilation for Unicode applications.

The solution is to include this define in your application's
Project/Options/Conditional Defines edit box:

EDB_UNICODE

Then re-build your application, and that should solve the problem.

I'll be uploading a new 1.09 B4 soon that will correct this issue.

That did it.
