Re: FUD!! ODBC will not be supported by Microsoft in the future

All

I've been using (or trying to use) the pgODBC driver with 'Use
Declare/Fetch' set to true and all goes well till you try to go to the end
of a large recordset. The driver seems to load all the records instead of
just the last 50 (or whatever). I'm using Delphi 7, BDE and psqlODBC
version 7.03.01.08 to connect to Postgres 7.3.1.

Any ideas? Could this be a BDE problem? Any one else out there using this
configuration?

Regards,

Ben
