It appears to be a VFP handling error, once I use parametrized calls
with memvars. This means that VFP will create SQL statement for me
translating variables into SQL values (something like
PreparedStatement on Java).
It's quite simple to make a explicit cast, but due to the size of
application, this will be not worth. ODBC driver version 7 is working
perfectly, but it's very old and I'm afraid of get some errors.
Assuming that PostgreSQL will increase it's versions (now on 8.3 beta
2), there is a need to upgrade the Windows ODBC driver to version 8?
