Hello,

if I access a unicode database DOA will return a wrong
string length. E.g. if the Field is defined with 40 characters I will get a length of 160. (These are the bytes used within Oracle - not the Delphi string length).

Any plans to correct this ?`

Nils

Have you enabled TOracleDataSet.OracleDictionary.CharacterSize?

Well, this helps -
just a small problem -
how to set this flag in all Queries within
my software .... 4200 changes in 577 files ?!
Is there any global option ?

Nils

There is no global option, but you could:

• Derive your own TOracleDataSet and change the default
• If you have the source code: change the default in OracleData.pas
• Iterate the components at run-time in OnCreate event handlers
• Run a macro on the .dfm files
