Using PostgreSQL 8.3.3
Delphi 2010
PGDatatype: text

Using the evaluation version of pgDAC 1.20

I keep getting "cannot convert type" when I try to post a memo field.

Any ideas?

This is a bug of Trial version. It doesn't exist in non-Trial versions. We'll fix this problem in the next PgDAC build.

Full version works as advertised. Thanks!!!

I installed the latest version and I still have the same error.
PgDAC 1.20.12 Trial
D2010 Pro
Note that I didn't uninstall the older version of pgDAC 1.20.11 cause I don't want to loose my trial period.
Do I have to do a fresh install? If yes will I loose my trial period?
Thanks for your reply

I cannot reproduce the problem. Please describe how to reproduce it.

If you didn't uninstall the older version, the new version overwrites the files. So you have the same result as if you have uninstalled the old version. The trial period will not be changed in any case.

it happens everytime I try to edit or post to a ByteA whether it's text or binary, if I query the table from commad prompt I could load the data and in this case I can only delete it using PgDAC in my app, here a sample code i'm using
Query.Active := True;
BlobField := Query.FieldByName(sFileClass) AS TBlobField;
try
Query.Edit;
BlobField.LoadFromStream(fs);
Query.Post
finally
fs.Free;
end;

Make sure that you have installed version 1.20.0.12. Open PostgreSQL | About PgDAC in the Delphi menu and look up the version.

Hello,
Yes sure I did that it's 1.20.0.12, I recompiled the PgDacDemo (It didn't work with the older version) and now it's working fine the "Pictures demo", don't know what's wrong with my code.
Thank you anyway
