Wrong size info for fields (x4)

[matthias]

HI,

if I query for the size of my dataset-field I always get the size x 4. I heard about this being an oracle issue. Which possibilities do I have to pass around this?

thanks,

matthias

Perhaps you need to set TOracleSession.BytesPerCharacter to bcAutoDetect?

Hi,

well, I already set it to AutoDetect. I assume it may concerns the communication with the oracle api (oci.dll, oracle client 9.2.0.1 with patch set 9.2.0.4, odbc 9.2.0.5.4). As far as i know this is the most recent version. It seems that Oracle fixed their problems with unicode, because tools like toad, informatica don't have any problems anymore.

thanks,

Matthias
