differences between implementation and documentation (help file)

Post by ac » Fri 31 Mar 2006 11:11

a) GetDatabaseNames: not implemented for TOraSession, but documented in the help file as follows: "Populates a string list with the names of databases."

b) field type for RAW fields: the help file says that this field should be represented by dataset's field with type TWideStringField when unicode is on. But it uses type TVarBytesField. (help file section: "Working with Unicode character data")

So my question is, what is wrong: the documentation or the implementation?

We have several products that have same base level. GetDatabaseNames is introduced on base level and is implemented in some products. In ODAC it wasn't implemented. As to RAW fields the implementation is correct. We'll change the documentation.
