Unidac 8 and added options for Interbase connection
Posted: Tue 20 Aug 2019 07:40
Hi,
I'm using Unidac components for a long time and I'm very happy. Yesterday I downloaded version 8. Database in use is Firebird 2.5 (and FB 3 but not yet tested). Compiling went ok but when I run application all memo fields from DB were strange. Text in memo fields was not displayed properly (like čćšđž characters). Standard varchars were ok. Grid displayed memo icon instead of text. Just to be clear all worked ok in version 7.3.
On UniConnection component for Interbase provider I saw new options like "EnableMemos". I checked that and things started to work.
It is not a problem to make changes for new version and make adjustments but that parameter is not documented anywhere. And to make 50+ users unhappy is bad.
So, please explain to me what that parameter is for (and some others that are added and not documented), how memo handling routines were changed and why "EnableMemos" is not checked by default for compatibility.
Thank you and best regards, Tone
