sql empty lines removed, don't know if odac or xe8 is to blame

[albourgz]

Design-time bug.
Using c++ builder xe8 pro Update pack 1 ( 22.0.19908.869) on win 7 64 bits, vcl app, odac 9.5.16 .
I have a TQuery, I type any select in SQL property, and append a few empty lines at the end, click ok.

I edit the SQL property: my empty lines are removed.
Problematic as the application does;

Code: Select all

QInventory->SQL->Strings[6]="/* some where criteria */";

but there are now only 4 lines to SQL. So I get a List Index Out Of Bounds.

Is this due to ODAC or XE8?
If due to ODAC, can I get a fix?
If due to XE8, can you ask a fix to embarcadero?

Regards.

Hello,

Thank you, we will change this behavior. In the next version, even empty strings specified in design time will be saved.

Do you have any date? Application has to be live on August 1st.
I don't know yet if it will be xe6 or xe8 (depending on patches availability).

The version with this fix will be released in the early September. If this problem is critical for you, we can send you a night build with the fix included.

[albourgz]

yes please.
This is very dangerous as it changes properties at design-time without any notice.
