I assume I am not the only developer running into this kind of problem. Should I be concerned that DOA will not be...

    Oracle 19, String vs WideString

    Oracle 19, String vs WideString

    Well, Thank you for a quick reply, as always. (1) I guess I should have explained that I *did* think of changing to TWideStringFields, but 430 queries in 69 forms are not something I will do in 2-3 hours, especially as there does not seem to be any logic in the change of size. (2) I see no...

    Colored logins

    Constantly switching from DEV, TEST, STAGING and PRODUCTION... it would be great if I could assign different colors to each login / database. So I could, for example, set frames and/or background to red on TEST, yellow on STAGING and green for any live production connection.
