Обсуждение: Boolean
Hello
I am trying to use PostgreSQL as an alternative to MS SQL express.
But when my Delphi table opens, the Boolean field fails as it says that it expects Boolean but receives string.
How can I get Boolean to be a BIT?
Thank you
Ian

Hi All
Thanks for your help.
That worked great.
Now I have the same sort of problem with PostgreSQL Text types not filling MSSQL MEMO fields.
I’ve looked in the DSN definition but I didn’t see anything obvious.
Any ideas please?
Regards
Ian

There's a "Bools as Char" option in psqlodbc. Try turning it off. If you're using DSN, the option is in page 1 of the Options dialog box. If you're using a connection string, add "BoolsAsChar=0;" to it. See https://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/config.html
Disclaimer: I've never used this option myself so can't say for sure. I actually use smallint instead of boolean in my design.

Just following up on my Text WideString Memo problem.
Text as LongVarChar does not seem to work.

Have you tried changing your column on the PG table to VARCHAR without a length qualifier to see if that works? I think TEXT in each of the two DBs have different practical max size limits which might account for the incompatibility error. Theoretically, there should be no difference in the data types TEXT between the two DBs, nor between TEXT and VARCHAR without a length qualifier. Perhaps there is a difference in the table metadata for the columns in each table for the different lengths or other attributes, as noted in your screen shot, and that triggers the incompatibility. It might be worth a shot if you haven’t tried it.
