I have a web application (ASP) that connects to the Oracle Rdb database via
ODBC installed on the web server (IIS).
The problem I am having is with a field (in OracleRdb) with data type
VARCHAR(16383). From my understanding, VARCHAR(16383) is translated into a
Memo field in Access.
When I tried to run the code (see below) that updates to this VARCHAR(16383)
field (i.e. explanation field), I noticed that it can only accept up to 255
characters. Any characters that exceeds 255 will result in a total
corruption of the field data.
Is there an issue with the OracleRdb ODBC that we should know about?
Can you also tell me the version of the ODBC that supports this?
