Oracle, BDE, & reports > 64K

rbuser

Hello,

I'm using the Report Explorer component and when my user tries to save a
report which is larger than 64K, the report is truncated.

The relevant BDE settings:
BLOB SIZE: 256
SHAREDMEMSIZE: 60000
MEMSIZE: 180

I'm using Oracle 8i, RB 7, and Delphi 5 via the BDE.

Any ideas on what the problem might be? If this is a problem inherent in
using the BDE, is moving to Direct Oracle Access a straight forward process?

Thanks,

Ed Vander Hoek

You can also try increasing the BLOBS TO CACHE in the BDE settings in
addition to BLOB SIZE. The BDE is also known to leak. There should be plenty
of info if you search google on borland's newsgroups or just on the web on
the BDE leaking handles.

There is a DOA DADE plugin for use in RB. It is included in the installation
in the RBuilder\Demos\EndUserDatabases\Oracle\DOA. I've never had to convert
an app from BDE to DOA, but DOA works just fine here when testing the end
user database demos.
