We've found out, that the problem is in Delphi itself (and probably
other Borland's products as well). Seems that Delphi components
responsible for BLOBs handling call BDE incorrectly. We managed to
make a workaround by calling BDE API manually instead of using
components provided by Borland. It works, but make programming much
more complicated, or at least much slower.
Unfortunately we are unable to compile this workaround into the
components library to fix the problem because Borland/Inprise doesn't
provide any source code for this part of their library.
Do you think we (PostgreSQL + Borland users) could influence Borland
to solve this problem? They only need to include our routines into
their library or just make some sorce code available (they released
it for many other components in thier library) to allow us to fix it.
Andrzej
