I'm afraid you find a real problem here. I just didn't think about inserting
arrays. If you give ecpg an array of int it inserts every single value as
one int. That means:
insert into foo(bar) values(:intarray)
is equal to:
for (i=0;i<maxarray;i++)
insert into foo(bar) values(:intarray[i])
How shall ecpg see that this time it is meant to insert the whole array?
Anyone with an idea?
Michael
