FR 3.21 Trial + MyDAC 4.30.0.11 Trial Unstable Delphi

[mvalent]

No, thank you, I managed to create them myself.

I also have a Runtime Error appear whenever I close my program written using Delphi 6 and myDAC. [Error 204 at 4002FFC] and the same thing happens on several PC's. I also sometimes get general instability in previously reliable Delphi programs.

In all other respects myDAC is BRILLIANT, very fast and easy to use. So if there is a FIX then please let me have it ASAP. Incidentally I am not using FastReport, so I guess there are other factors I have not identified yet. This 'Runtime Error' problem only began after I loaded myDAC into Delphi.

thanks, Charles

Though I do not use FastReport I do use Report Builder, if there is any similar interaction ? I also have TeeChart and LMD installed, othere than that the Delphi 6 setup is 'normal'. It is updated to RTL 2 at this time.

This annoying Runtime error will not stop me using myDAC, but the other 'weird' events are causing crucial Server based processes to 'fall over' and so I need to have these resolved pretty urgently. Specifically the affected systems are frequently running out of memory, and from time to time a mySQL table 'breaks' and loses hours of recent records. Then it cannot be re-opened and I get very peculiar errors that can only be cleared by deleting and recreating the affected Query then re-compiling. After which everything works normally .. for a while. The longest stable period was a week, and the shortest a few hours ;{

This is all happening on a mixture of PC's running WinXP Pro, Win2000Server, and Win2K. I appeal to you for HELP please, if any of this makes sense to you.

thanks, Charles

It gets stranger .. I have just realized that myDAC 'Trial' countdown message has stopped appearing. It was popping up every time I started any program built using myDAC, but since the latest 'crashes' it has gone away. I am still using the Trial version so I presumed that 'Nagscreen' was going to continue showing throughout the period. But it has stopped, so does that signify something important ? Also this last series of unexplained crashes happened simultaneously on three PC's at exactly midnight GMT. Is that any more than just a weird coincidence ? They were talking to two different databases one 'in house' and one remote, but the remote processes survived and the in house database kept running, but one table was badly damaged.

goodnight from the UK, Charles

> I also have a Runtime Error appear whenever I close my program written using Delphi 6 and myDAC.

This runtime error you get is raised because of trial protection bug. Registered users have never informed us about similar problems.

> but the other 'weird' events are causing crucial Server based processes to 'fall over'

Other users never reported about similar problems. Please try make a complete small sample to demonstrate this problem and send this sample to us (mydac*crlab*com), including script to create and fill table.
Also supply us following information
- Exact version of MyDAC. You can see it in About sheet of TMyConnection Editor
- Exact version of MySQL server and MySQL client. You can see it in Info sheet of TMyConnection Editor

> I have just realized that myDAC 'Trial' countdown message has stopped appearing.

We use special algorithm to make Nagscreen appear periodically because it's really annoying.

Sorry, I should have included the Version Info.

However since the production version seems 'bug free' I have now ordered it and I will let you know if it cures these problems.

I have been using myDAC 4.3.0.11, now 4.3.0.12 but no change. The programs talk to two servers, first on local LAN, second on Web:

First Uses:
MySQL server version: 5.0.20-community
MySQL client version: Direct

Second Uses:
MySQL server version: 4.1.18-standard
MySQL client version: Direct

The major problem is keeping connected to the Remote database, but it is not simply a 'lost connection' because Program A built with myDAC can survive whilst B on the same PC fails every few hours. Yet these are virtually identical programs, so perhaps that is a clue. I will send you a 'worked sample' if the Production Version does not cure the problems.

many thanks, Charles

Unfortunately the information you have provided isn't enough to reproduce the problem. We will be thankful for small sample that reproduces it. Please send the sample to mydac*crlab*com including script to create and fill table.
