TMSLoader.Load "Invalid variant operation" in Delphi 5

[skirsche]

Using TMSLoader with a table containing a char column leads to an EVariantError with the message 'Invalid variant operation'. This happens in TMSLoader.Load. The method assigned to OnPutData is never called.

The problem appears to be limited to Delphi 5, everything works fine in Delphi 7.

I tried the following versions:
4.80.0.60 (13-Aug-2010) - does not have the problem
5.00.0.1 (13-Sep-2010) - has the problem
6.0.2 (13-Oct-2011) - has the problem

You can reproduce it with the example code from this post:

But change the last column from integer to char:

Code: Select all

CREATE DATABASE TestDB 
GO 

USE TestDB 
GO 

CREATE TABLE Temp_Table 
( 
   a INTEGER IDENTITY NOT NULL, 
   b INTEGER NOT NULL, 
   c CHAR(50) 
)
