Error with Trial

[chkaufmann]

Hi,

I just tried UniDAC (demo) for a first test and when executing the query with a TUniQuery component:

update BSGLOBAL set DATA = :PDATA where NAME = :PNAME


I get the following error:

EAccessViolation at 0069d301 DBTest.exe DBAccess TDAParam.GetIsNull 0069d301 DBTest.exe DBAccess TDAParam.GetIsNull
Access violation at address 0069D301 in module 'DBTest.exe'. Read of address 00000000

006d3d3e DBTest.exe Uni TUniSQL.WriteParams
0069ec19 DBTest.exe DBAccess TCustomDADataSet.Execute


Database is Firebird.

Any idea what goes wrong? Since I have the demo version only, I cannot debug it myself.

I tried to isolate the problem in a test application. But there it works fine. I'll probably buy UniDAC anyway, then I have the source and can find it.

What I do is this:

try
qry := TUniQuery.Create(nil);
qry.Connection := FConnection;
qry.SQL.Text := 'update BSGLOBAL set DATA = :PDATA where NAME = :PNAME';
qry.Prepared := True;
qry.Params[0].DataType := ftMemo;
qry.Params[0].Value := '01.00';
qry.Params[1].DataType := ftString;
qry.Params[1].Value := 'BSDB_DDL_VERSION_APPLICATION';
qry.Execute;
finally
qry.Free;
end;

The difference is in the data of the TParam's object for the memo field:

This is the content of the TParam when I have the error:
($15DE890, 0, $33B74F8, '', '01.00', 0, 0, False, 'PDATA', ftMemo, True, ptUnknown, 0, nil, False)

This is the content when it works fine (code above):
($11B6908, 0, $1128418, '', Unassigned, 0, 0, True, 'PDATA', ftMemo, True, ptUnknown, 0, $11B6A70, False)

So somehow this object is not initialized the same way, but I don't see the difference right now.

Finally I purchased UniDAC and could debug the problem. What I did is, that I referred the param object as TParam instead of TUniParam. Then setting the DataType property does not call the correct method:

var
param : TParam; // <<-- to solve the problem I have to use TUniParam here
begin
param := FUniQuery.Params.ParamByName('MEMOFIELD');
param.DataType := ftMemo; // <<-- here is the problem because like this, the blob object (FParamObject) is not created
FUniQuery.Execute;
end;

So my problems are solved for now and I look forward to see performance increase compared to DBX drivers (and DBX implementation in Delphi 2007...).
