Hidden access violation on shutdown

cjs · Post by **cjs** » Tue 27 Jan 2009 12:39

Demo version of SDAC 4.70.0.42
Delphi 6, Service pack 2
MS SQL Server 2008

If Delphi's 'break on exception' is active, when the program shuts down, it triggers an access violation (on a call to CoUninitialize in ComObj.pas). This exception is not seen when running the program outside of the IDE, or with 'break on exception' switched off, but the error still occurs internally -- presumably something is trapping the exception and either handling or ignoring it.

This appears to happen even with a very simple program, with just TMSConnection and TMSQuery components and a simple query.

I could not reproduce the problem.
Do you use the Trial Edition of SDAC?
Please check, if the problem still exist if the "Include TD32 debug info" item of the Project->Options->Linker menu is not selected.

Yes, I'm using the trial version.

The 'Include TD32 debug info' is unticked.

I tested it against an MS SQL Server 2008 database, using a new project with TMSQuery and TMSConnection components, connecting a DBGrid via a standard Datasource component linked to the TMSQuery. This worked without problems, but triggered the access violation on exit.

If I ran the project outside the IDE (or with 'break on exception' turned off) the access violation did not appear.

This problem can appear only in Trial Edition and it will disappear in a registered edition of SDAC.
