field type mapping for varchar(max)

Post by cameron2 » Tue 13 Oct 2009 02:59

I am using 4.55.0.20 and varchar(max) is being mapped to ftMemo. Is there anyway I can control what this is being mapped to - I would like to provide the option of mapping to a ftString.

also the readme.html file has some field mappings in it, however it is not up to date with the SQL 2008 fields. Do you officially support SQL 2008?

DbxSda doesn't support converting the varchar(max) SQL Server type to ftString because SQL Server keep these fields like blob fields.

Yes, DbxSda supports SQL Server 2008.
