Subject: Getting info on "Max LongVarChar" under ODBC
Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2001 11:36:15 +0000

Is there a way of querying the Win-32 ODBC driver to find out the
current value of the "Max LongVarChar" control panel setting?

What I'm trying to do is make a Delphi (via BDE) app aware of the
limitation so that it can behave intelligently rather than risking
truncating text.

Any suggestions much appreciated.
