ftString on TEXT Datatype ?! Size is equal to the largest item in the DB :( - or 255 bytes long
Hello,
I have a weird problem with MySQL and Delphi over ADO components.
MySQL does not return the TEXT type as "Memo", but as "String". The size of the 'String' is random. Why???
If you fill out the database by other system, then most probably you will receive as the size the length of the longest item in that column...
My problem is :
I have a TDBMemo component which I would like to make editable. However, I can't use the 'TEXT' type, because the text is cropped after posting through TADODataset or TAdoQuery !!! It's very strange behavior, and I can't figure out, how to achieve the expected results.
My question is :
How can I update a TEXT field from Delphi through TADODataSet or TADOQuery without doing it manually per SQL statement? Is there any way how to do it through TDataSource, please?
Thank you!
Karol
