Hi Ocke, Your patch work's fine with the test programs, but I'm still unable to read and write long varchar columns in OO Base. I guess OO Base may be mislead by our JDBC driver, which unfortunately returns always 0 for the length and precision of long varchar columns.
Methods that return always 0 for the length and precision of long varchar columns: - XConnection.getMetaData().getTypeInfo() in PRECISION (column 3) - XConnection.getMetaData().getColumns(...) in COLUMN_SIZE (column 7) - XResultSetMetaData.getPrecision(...) It's possible to switch our JDBC driver in two different modes. First mode disables use of clobs, long varchar columnss are described as type -1 in ResultSetMetaData. This mode causes OO Base to freeze, when it tries to read long varchar column using getString(). Second mode enables use of clobs, long varchar columnss are described as type 2005 in ResultSetMetaData. In this mode Base displays the long varchar columns always empty, values may be entered, but disappear as you leave the input field with the cursor and don't go to the database. Could the length and precision values cause such a behavior in Base?
