Hi Tom, Tx for you really clear answer, it helped a lot.
I just found the problem and it could indeed be seen as a bug in my code, although that very same piece of code works without any problem on MSSQL 2K, MSSQL 2K5, MSSQL Express, Oracle 9i, Oracle 10, MySQL 5.0 and MySQL 5.1. The problem was the following: When specifying the following statement: SQLBindParameter(hStmt, 1, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_BINARY, SQL_BINARY, 16, 0, ValuePtr, 16, &IndPtr) and the column bound is of binary type (BYTEA, IMAGE, BLOB, ...), the IndPtr must contain the length of the data passed in ValuePtr. In my code I had it set to 0 (because I already specified the length of the field in the DataLen parameter), which doesn't seem to work for postgresql.
