Re: Long Char field

hi,
i'm french so if my english is very poor. sorry.

I used Oracle 7.3 with oracle odbc driver 2.5.3.1.7 .

I have problem with long raw field. it's difficult to have information about this. But, i tried to have information. i explain my matter. I used SQLPutData to put a field in long raw and in my function i passed on SQLBindParameter function a parameter SQL_LONGVARBINARY. but if my file is less than near 4 there is an error. If i passed on my function SQL_VARBINARY not SQL_LONGVARBINARY there is no problem. But if my file is more than 4 with SQL_VARBINARY the field is no record.

which is the critical size of field to put SQL_VARBINARY or SQL_LONGVARBINARY ??
thanks.
Xav
