Re: AW: 10.2B08: Option auto adjustment sql-width available?

I am with Tom here. Variable length strings is a great feature of OpenEdge.
If that causes frequent issues with SQL, implement string length validation in your data access code (or DB triggers). Or make sure your SQL-width is long enough.
And… log an enhancement request with those SQL DB vendors. Once they fix it, I have trust in Data Direct to fix the drivers in time as well.
Oh! Yes, did not think about that. But then again, I've never encountered anybody actually updating through the SQL, most likely because we never allow that.
