BCB 2010, LONG and unicode not supported on rave?

Post by albourgz » Mon 02 Jul 2012 09:29

Hi,

I have an app in bcb2010 pro, odac 6.90.0.57, and nevrona rave reports 8.0.1.
The db uses the characterset american_america.al32utf8. I don't use odac Direct mode.
I have a table with a LONG field holding text.
If TOraSession.unicode=false the field prints correctly on the nevrona report.
If TOraSession.unicode=true, (and refresh report's fields), chinese (bullshit) characters are appended to the text field.
However, if I convert the LONG field to CLOB field (and refresh report's fields) the field prints correctly on the nevrona report.
Do I have to blame Nevrona or ODAC? Any workaround?

Thanks.

Hello,

We didn't test our products on this version of Rave Reports, however, since when using standard Delphi DBGrid, such problems don't occur, then this problem must be due to Rave Reports

I don't understand the relation between dbgrid (GUI) and rave (printing).
But if you say it is due to rave ok.
