RE : [fpc-pascal] Re: RE : Re: RE : RE : RE : Assigning value to ftVariant datatype varbytes-still stuck
Oops, sorry, you're right. Your cygwin diffs don't seem to agree with (the way I use) fpc patch; I got it to apply only the first part of the patch... Now it works. The patches I upload to bugs.freepascal are made with svn diff. The ones I sent you earlier were made with cygwin diff since the code wasn't versioned with svn. Using fpc diff -u --minimal oldfile newfile patch.diff does work for me with patch -p0 patch.diff I suppose you use cygwin patch to apply the patches? I use patch -p0 patch.diff. The cygwin diff I sent earlier: I forgot to mention the diff -u parameter, hence the different format.

That's taking risks and requires quite some testing with the different host applications. When transferring data as strings, we know that apps do the string to integer/date/whatever transformation. But when you transfer them as binary, I'm afraid that they will be imported as is ie. no transformation. Yes, it is taking a risk. However, if I understand correctly, a variant can contain an integer, string, anything really. Couldn't it also contain blob or binary data? Encoding it as base64 seems safer to me than just blindly writing it out as a string. (Don't know if ftVariant fields are ever used in real world databases though) I really don't care myself which way we go - I'll happily defer to your expertise. Just say the word I'll change them all back to string ;) ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
