Reported By: Lindsay Mathieson Reported On: 11/30/2003 For: Version 3.27 Build 1
# 1726Cannot Mix 3.26 Clients with 3.27 Database Servers Without Causing Database Server Crash C/S Mode (TCP/IP) When using components OR dbsys:
3.26 client editing or appending blob/memo data to a table on a 3.27 server - both client and server crash.
3.27 Client editing or appending blob/memo data to a table on a 3.26 server - no crash, but data is garbaged and hugely inflated. A 500K blob typically inflates to 20/50 MB
Both these problems happen 100% of the time.
Comments and WorkaroundsThe problem was with a change in the BLOB flushing due to a fix in 3.27. Please see incident #1451 for more information.
ResolutionFixed Problem on 12/16/2003 in version 3.28 build 1
