I got a problem.. im using mySQL the newest release on a redhat 7.x for the server.. 

And im doing some programming.. on a win2k pro with delphi 5.0 ent ed. and im using 
the myODBC driver in windows to connect to the db.

Tho when the db is empty

[mailboxes]
mailbox     char 50
fullname    char 50
password   char 50
domain      char 50

i got the user with all priv on.. the user.. so he is a super user, so it all works 
that way.. tho the problem is.. 

* When the database is empty then i got in Delphi Invalid field size error and cant 
use the db.
* When i set some data in the db lets say
mailbox = 'box1'
fullname = 'donald duck'
password = 'pluto'
domain = 'ducktales.com'

then i can use the db in delphi but i cant set values in other posts in the db that 
are larger in width (chars) then the other.. like this..

in the mailbox coloum i got 'box1' thats 4 chars in the other mailbox fields i cant 
set anything that is larger than 4 chars.
and so on.. but if i set all fields with one post of 50 chars then i can use all 
fields like it should work!!

please help!.. b4 i have to switch to ms$SQL
