Hi,
I have been testing my VFP 9 application with the SQL Server Native Client 11.0. I changed the type Text with Varchar(MAX). I use CursorAdapter.
Here is what I come across.
1. Good thing is that where the data is retrieved and saved via CursorAdapter, I have no problems.
2. Then I tried to get the data from the column of type Varchar(MAX) without CursorAdapter. I do SQL Select and then assign the value of the column to a variable. The variable is EMPTY.
So, it appears - please correct me if I am wrong - that with the SQL Server Native Client 11.0 and type Varchar(MAX), I must always get the data via CursorAdapter. Correct?
TIA
UPDATE. Since most if not all of my reports get the data from the SQL Server by SQL Select, I need to find a way to MAP the VarChar(Max) to a MEMO field, without CursorAdapter. Is it possible? And if yes, how?
