preceding spaces and updates

ccmcbride · Post by **ccmcbride** » Tue 10 Nov 2009 22:49

I have a weird issue, using sdac 4.70.0.46, Delphi 2007 and mssql 2008.
I have a table.
I have editors.
When I delete or add a preceding space in a field on the record, the field does not get updated to the database.
i.e, I deleted a preceding space on the name, and added a preceding space to an address line.
dbmonitor shows other fields being updated, but not these two fields, so the actual data does not get updated:
UPDATE Cust
SET
AddressBlock = ?, BillAddressBlock = ?, MailAddressBlock = ?, EditDateTime = ?, EditCount = ?
WHERE
RecUID = ?
Is there a flag I should or should not be setting?
it seems that it is not updating unchanged fields (which is fine), but these fields ARE changing.

I could not reproduce the problem.
Please send me a complete small sample to dmitryg*devart*com to demonstrate it, including a script to create and fill table.

okay, I have sent you a test project and a small database.
all you have to do to recreate is to edit one of the records, add or remove a preceding space, post the record, refresh the record. Change was not saved to the database.

Thank you for information. We have reproduced this problem and fixed it. This fix will be included in the next SDAC build.
As a temporary solution you can set the TrimVarChar option to False.
