Re: Using ODBC and VBA to pull data from a large object

Sorry about that. Here's the driver information and some code. Thanks.

Driver Name: PostgreSQL ANSI
Version: 9.02.01.00

constr = "Driver={PostgreSQL ANSI}; Server=servername; Port=5432;
Database=databasename; Uid=username; Pwd=password;"
With conn
.ConnectionString = (constr)
.Open
End With

SQL = "SELECT data FROM pg_largeobject WHERE loid = " & id & " ORDER BY
pageno"
rs.Open SQL, conn

stream.Type = adTypeBinary
stream.Open

' Loop through the recordset and write the binary data to the stream
While Not rs.EOF
stream.Write rs.Fields("data").Value
rs.MoveNext

You don't say with which driver.

ODBC can be a bit twitchy with data types, and I have seen several drivers
fail when they attempt to read the .Value, some of the driver don't pass
through the adTypeBinarry and allocate a MAX_LENGTH string of 255 for the
read buffer. I haven't tested the current driver from pg.org, but when I
did a few months ago, it correctly handled the .Type field and allocated
the length appropriately.

Some version information and source would make this far easier to resolve.

when I originally worked on this. It works great for the first 255 bytes,
but after that it returns 0's. Is there any way to get all of the data in
a large object returned to a recordset (not just the first 255 bytes)?
Thanks again.
